a What is to become of the generic name Tanagra and family name Tanagridse? 

 The genus was established by Linnaeus in 1704, and at that date contained three 

 species. The first of these is a Leistes, the second a Cassicus, and the third a Eupho- 

 nia. The last named is therefore the sole original tanager in the ijenus. By taking 

 the first species as type (probably also the type by elimination), Tanagra would 

 become a member of the Lcteridje, equivalent to Leistes Vigors. So far as I know 

 the type of Tanagra at 1704 is yet to be fixed, and as "first reviser," under the rules 

 of the new International Code, 1 will select Fringilla violacea Linnjcus, 175S, as the 

 type. This course will produce as little confusion as any other method, and will per- 

 mit us to use Tangaridse for the family, Tangara Brisson, for the Callistes, Euphonia 

 Desmarest {Tanagra Linnaeus, 1764, preoccupied by Tangara Bkisson) for the 

 Euphonias, and Thraupis Boie, for the "true" tanagers. Those who reject Brisson's 

 names may use Tanagridac, Calospiza, Tanagra, and Thraupis for the same groups.
