“I am indebted to my young friend Spencer F. Baird, Esq. of Carlisle, Pennsylvania, for specimens of this new Flycatcher, which that gentleman and Wm. M. Baird, Esq. accurately described in Vol. I. of "The Proceedings of the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia," (July and August 1843, Nos. 28, 29, p. 283) and from which I have made my figure.”
