name to "M. Isidore;" but Geofiroy, as it dow appears, only used the vernacular

Bonaparte also claims this genus for Geoffroy St.-Hilaire in tin- following note: 

 "Le genre a <'t>- fonde sous ce nom en 1836 par 1 ■ professeur ( reoffroy-Saint-Hilaire, 

 el public par M. V r ictor Meunier (qui a gard£ I'anonyme) dans le resume 1 du cours 

 d'ornithologie denotre illustre professeur, insure dans une suite denum^ros de VEcho 

 iiu Monde Savant, en 1836 et 1837, et dont il exiate aussi un tirageD part in-8°. Voyt : 

 pages 75 et 76 de ce tirage a part." (See Com ptes Rend us, X 1.1. L855, p. ill-.' 



It is not improbable that Salangana and several other names (Halob •". Microp- 

 sites, Paribis, Pelasgia, etc.) attributed to the same author may occur in the tract 

 mentioned by Bonaparte, but I am not able t" consult the work at present. 



a Billberg disposes of the Linnsean genus Meleagris as follows: "1. Pseudotaon I'.. 

 {Meleagris Linnc), 2. Penelophe B Merrem .."..Satyra B. Meleagris L.)."
