The etymology of the specific name of pchinfjia, used by Lin- iiiL'us, of this bird, iu the twelfth edition of Systema Natura3, has always been a question. We find that the word in the tenth edition is iKhajica, refer- ring probably to the supposed passage over tho Carilibean Sea in its annual migrations. Chaturct ,\.\\e western representative of this bird, extremely similar, but distinguishable by considerably smaller size, much ligliter, almost white, tlu'o^^, paler rump, and under parts decidedly ligliter than the back. C. poliiu-a, which much resembles it, is blacker above, and much darker below. (See syno])sis ou page 1027.) Ha
