• Hypliantornis, and also Chcra, are now invariably quoted as dating from 1849, although duly recorded 

 by \. Wagner in his report on ornithology for 1844 (ArchivNaturgesch., 1845, vol. 2, p. 52). One or both 

 names were mentioned by Riippell (Syst. Ucb. Vogel Nord-Ost-Afrika's, 1845, p. 07) and Cabanis (Archiv 

 Naturgesch., 1847, vol. 1, p. 331) before 1849, but a recent author has argued that Riippeil's work could not 

 have been published in 1S45, owing to the mention of Chera in it! The facts are as follows: Part I of Gray's 

 Work, issued in May, 1S44, included (among other subjects) four unnumbered pages of Ploccinae, where 

 the genera Chera and Hyphanlnrnis are duly proposed. In part 47, March, 1849, he issued a revised edition 

 of the Ploceinae, extended to six pages, and to insure this and two or more similar revised sheets being 

 preserved by the binder, he indicated in the table of contents those to be retained. The original sheet , 

 dated " May, 1844," was therefore carefully eliminated in binding. 



' The original Hyphantomis contains 28 species, the second edition 33. Nos. 1 to 9 are the same In both 

 editions, but No. 10 ("H. personata (Swains.)") is missing in the substituted text of 1849. Nos. 11 to 28 

 of the original text are the same as Nos. 10 to 27 of 1849. Sharpe (Cat. Birds Brit. Mus., vol. 13, 1890, p. 

 437) gives the type of the genus as Oriolus cucullatus Miiller (O. teztor Gmelin), which is the first species 

 but Gray (Cat. Gen. and Subgen. Birds, 1855, p. 70) designates " Ploceus grandis, Vieill." as the tj-pe of' 

 Hyphantomis "O. R. Or. 1849." The name grandis appears to have been first introduced by Gray, 1844 

 and not by Vieillot. In view of the several irregularities connected with the case, I designate Hyphan 

 ioTiiis grandis Gray as the type of Hyphantomis Gray, 1844.
