 name of orientalis tweuty-five years later.

The name maqnimiitns was given on the same page as (/rallariKs, bnt ajipeared 

 first. It has been neglected owing to slight inaccnracies in the diagnosis. Both 

 names, as well as a third, were given to birds represented by drawings. I have 

 examined the drawings known as the Watling drawings, now in the British 

 Mnsenm, and find tliat the one npon which magnirostrix was founded is by far 

 the best representation of the liird. I therefore have no liesitatiou in adopting 

 this name in preference to the two later ones, grultarius andj'i-ae/ia/tt.i.

Eapodotis was introduced by Lesson in the Jietue Xool. ii. p. 47, 1839, for a 

 nnmber of species, Otis rhaad, arabs, and others. The following year Gray typified 

 {List Genera Birds p. 04, 1840) Eitpodotis by rliaad Gm. as of Lesson, XIus. 

 Senckenb. ii. pi. 15. 



In the Ann. Sci. Sat. Ser. iv. vol. i. Zool. p. 148, 1854, Bonaparte included 

 Choriotis, a nude name. In the Cat. Gen. Subgen. Birds, p. Iii9, 1855, Gray 

 noted : 



Choriotis Pr. B. 1854. Type Otis arabs Linn. 



The succeeding year Bonaparte used Choriotis (Comptes Itendiis xliii. ji. 410, 

 1850), attaching thereto arabs, cristata, edwardsi, and australis. 



In the Nut. Sgst. Vogel p. xxx, 1852, Reichenbach had typified Kupodotis 

 Gray by 0. arabs, and proposed Tracheitis with cacrnle.'icens as type. 



In the Cat. Birds xxiii. 1894 is given :

As congeneric with cacruleseens Vieill. is included senegalensis Vieill., as 

 a synonym of which is accej.ted rhaad (Mus. Senchenb. ii. p. 230, taf. 15, 1837), 

 and rhaad Gm. is dismissed as indeterminable. But Uiippell's fixation of rhaad 

 would seem to decide its identity, and hence Ei/podotis must be resumed for 

 tlie species included in the Cat. Birds under Trachelotis, which becomes 

 synonymous, and for the species typified by arabs, Choriotis must again, as 

 formerly, be recognised.

Dupetor was proposed (yomencl. Ma.s. Ilein. Orn. p. 308) as a substitute for 

 Ardeirallu, the latter name not meeting with approval on account of its unclassical 

 formation. I cannot generically separate the Australian bird from the type of 

 Ardeirallu, but to those more skilled the generic name Xanthocnus Sharpe
