'This preoccupies Aedonopsh Sharps, 1883, which I now rename Tychaidon (tuxi, a chance, luck

* Aenopogon is listed by Agassiz, Index, 184G, p. 9, as a substitute ioi Aenoharbui " Temm." Agassiz, 1842 , 

 but both names are nomina nuda. Gray (I'at. Gen. and Subgen. Birds, 1855, p. 54) cites both terms as 

 ajTJonyms of Allotrius Boie, and Fitzinger adopts Aenopogon, as above. 



* Proves to be a Zeuglodon. 



» The genus I Icnon of I^esson embraced all of the kingfishers known to him, but of his eight "sous-genre," 

 none is named Alci/on. Alcedo alcijon Linnaeus, in the second subfjenus (p. 242), is the type, by taut- 

 onymy. Several authors have cited a genus Alcyon of Spix, quoting plafe .'^7, (ig. 2, of his Avium Species 

 Novae as "Alcyon iriiictyii," but the bird there represented is called Galbula tridactyla in the copy seen 

 by me. 



* See also Gray, Cat. Gen. and Subgen. Birds, 1855, p. 142, where listed as a doubtful synomym of Engyete 

 Reichenbacb.
