Though not properly citable as a separate article, I introduce this title to give the reference 

 to the original names and descriptions of the bird — the name M. gallopavo L. being based 

 upon the domestic race, subsequently renamed If. mexicana by Gould.

Referring to a memoir read before the Amer. Philos. Soc, in which the author shows that 

 there are two distinct species of Meleagris— ouq, the common domesticated Turkey, M. gallo- 

 pavo of Linnieus, "which was altogether unknown in the countries of the old world before 

 the discovery of America"; the other, '"the common wild Turkey of the United States," to 

 which the author of the memoir gives the name of Meleagris palawa, sp. n. After Bartram's 

 notice of 1791, Barton's is the earliest to decide upon the existence of two species.
