"Pelasgia" of my former list and ii Pelasgie" of Waterhouse's 

 "Index" was used only in a vernacular sense by Geoff rov (Echo 

 du Monde Savant, IV, No. 74, June 3, 1837, p. 84 [not "74"]), 

 viz.: "Pelasgie.'* Waterhouse took his reference from Gray, 

 while I followed Lesson, who cited the wrong- page. There is a 

 possibility that the name may occur in a systematic sense in the 

 "Cours d'Ornithologie" published in 1836-37 (see note under 

 Salangana), but I have been unable, thus far, to find this work.
