Mem. Edwards's bird is lefs than that of Catejby.
This inhabits the fhady woods of North America, as far a3 Place,
Hudfon’s Bay, in fummer ; in winter migrates; and is then faid
to be found in Jamaica and the neighbouring iflands.
* I have great fufpicioti that both thefe birds belong to the genus of Fly-
catcher, and are the fame, except in fex ; iffo , it would have been moil proper
to have placed them under that genus, rather than the prefent one. I have only
examined thofe from Hudfon’s Bay, which appear to be true Flycatchers ; and it
remains Hill in fufpenfe whether Catejby's bird and that of Sloatte be the fame;
as one lhewn to us for the female of the laft had the bill of a Warbler.
