is the usually adopted name of the red-bellied Water Ouzel of Central 

 Europe. The oldest name is, however, 



Cinclus merula Schaff.

EEGULUS CRISTATUS Vieill. 1807, 



is a name which antedates Lichtenstein's Regulus satrapa (1823). 

 As it is not preoccupied, there is no reason for rejecting it. Vieillot, 

 indeed, states that his bird is identical with the European species, which, 

 he erroneously calls Motacilla reguhis Lin., but he gives a description 

 and plate, which represent the American bird better than the Regulus 

 ignicapillm Brm. The following is thought to be a tolerably exhaustive 

 synonymy of these species : 



1. Begulus cristatns Vieill. 1807. 



1807.— Begulus cristatns Vieill., Ois. Amer. Sept. II, p. 50, pi. 106 {nee KocH 1816).* 

 1808.— Sylvia regulus Wils., Am. Orn. I (p. 126, pi. 8, fig. 2), {nee Motacilla regulus 



Lin.).

 1832. — Begulus tricolor Nutt., Man. Orn. I, p. 420.

 186(3.—Begulns satrapus COUES, Pr. Phil. Acad. 1866 (p. 66). 



*It may, perhaps, be to this species that Bartram, Trav. Flor. (1791) p. 291, refers 

 the same name. Cfr. E. Coues, Pr. Phil. Acad. 1875, p. 351.
