> Gray, List Spec. Birds, vol. 4, Columbae, 185G, p. 10, gives the authority as "Pr. B. in litt." 



* In the Appendix, p. 150, he says: " Pterocolpa, since altered to I'tiloc-olpa, Pr. B." 



* Mr. Ridgway says "this genus may possibly have already been named, the generic term Nyctiphrynru 

 Bonaparte having been used in connection \vith the tyjje species." Salvadori (Atti R. Accad. Sci. Torino, 

 vol. 49, 1914, p. 451) has since demonstrated this to be the case. 



« This is a nomen nudum in the oriijinal Comptes Rendus paper. (See note under Bolborhynchus.) Is 

 equivalent to Psittrutdes I?onaparte, 1S54. 



f" Smith claims to have instituted this name "In the year 1829," but I have not met with it earlier than 

 1837, although Swainson mentions a name "Pyralauda" in 1S34 (Murray's Encycl. Geogr.), where, however, 

 It is a nomen nudum.
