Bell’s Vireo or Greenlet

“On the same day that Harris' Finch was procured, Mr. J. G. Bell, who, as I have already said, accompanied me in my journey to the Yellow Stone river, &c., shot one of the species which I am now about to describe, and which I have named, it being also a new and hitherto undescribed species, with great pleasure, after Mr. Bell; the more especially as Mr. Bell is himself a person who possesses a good general knowledge of our birds, and was an excellent companion in our not unperilous rambles.”
