2 Several names have been proposed for this group: Sagittarivs Hermann, 17S3; Gypogeranus Bork- 

 hausen, 1707; Serpentarius Cuvier, 179S; Secrctarius Daudin, 1800; Ophiothcrcs Vieillot, 1S16, and Amphi- 

 serpcntarius Gaillard, 1908, the last for a fossil genus. Of these, Sarjittarins has clear priority, and should 

 be adopted in place ol the two or three names in current use. Boddaert (Dierkundig Mengelwerk, vol. 5, 

 1770, p. 17) and Vosmaer (Beschryving Afrik. Roof-Vogel, de Sagittarius genaamd, 1769, p. 1) have been 

 cited as autharities for this name, but neither of them used it in a generic sense. 



* The included species are Sylvia locusiella Latham and S. salicaria "Latham" (the "Sedgc-Warbler"). 



<Sherborn and Woodward (Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., ser. 7, vol. 17, March, 19C6, p. 390) accept August, 

 1832, as the date of livraison 4 of this work, but the first five parts are said to have been "termin^es et pub- 

 liees" by the reviewer of them in Ferussac's Bull. Sci. Nat., vol. 26, for September, 1831, p. 291, and there 

 can be no question that Saxicoloides was published in this year. It is some months earlier than Tfiamnobia 

 Swainson, which appeared in February, 1832.
