The species of Vireo are most easily tabulated by color, and in the following? synopsis no regard is paid to external form, but species of Vireo and Vireonella are mixed together. It will, however, be remembered (page 326) that V. noveboracensis, atricapillus, car- mioli, hu/toni, belli, vicinior, and ptoiillus fall under the head of Vireo proper, with their longer, more pointed wings, and (except in vicinior) smaller outer primaryâbelli, vicimor, Audjrusillm
