Abstract
In the original description of Hutton's Vireo (Cassin, 1851) the bird was simply named for Hutton; no middle name was given and there were few details to identify the individual. T.S. Palmer (1928) described William Hutton as A field collector concerning whom very little is known. He collected birds in the vicinity of Washington, D.C., in March, 1844, April and May, 1845, and May, 1857. Hutton visited California just prior to the discovery of gold and collected at several points. He was apparently located at Monterey from May 1847 to November 1848, where he obtained the Vireo which was named Vireo huttoni in his honor by John Cassin. Hutton was in San Diego in 1851 and also visited La Paz, Lower California.
