» Lucar dates from Bartram, 1791, and displaces Dumetella S. D. W., 1837. It is possibly Indeterminate 

 on p. — , where the passage reads "Lucar li^idus, apice nipra; the cat bird, or chicken bird": but one 

 p. — (pp. 297-298 of the London ed.) he fixes its status by reference to Catesby's "Muscicapa vertice 

 nigra," and Zimmermann adds the Linnaean name in parentheses. 



* In Bartram, 1791 and 1792, this genus is a nomen nudum, but Zimmermann amplifies the reference by 

 writing " Luscinia seu philomela americana. The yellow hooded titmouse. Die Amerikanische Nachtipall. 

 Catesby." Catesby did not describe or figure the "American Nightingale," but Edwards (Nat. Hist, 

 vol. 3, p. 121) did, and as Zimmermann was citing his references from Seligmann's work, where the figures 

 and descriptions from Edwards and Catesby are badly mixed, it is not surprising that this is quoted as 

 from Catesby. This particular bird is in need of further investigation, as it is one of the chief references 

 on which Motacilla calidris Linnaeus is founded. It requires strong imagination to see in Edwards's plate 

 121 the bird we now know as Vireosylva calidris. 



Under Tringa pugnax Linnaeus, he adds: " Micliophiluset Machetes pugn. auct."
