'J'lie three forms above given, after being currently reported as distinct species for 

 several years, were united by Dr. Schlegel, whose example was followed by Mr. Allen. 

 But it appears that there arc some tangible dilferences, warranting a geographieo- 

 varietal separation. Mr. Alleu snbseciueiitly nu)dilied his first impressions to agree 

 with the determination as given in the Key, al)ov(^ (pioted. Messrs. Baird and Kidg- 

 Wi\y \n'r\) Jliiridaua separate, uniting only woodhousei with calif oruiea ; but all three 

 forms appear to eon.stitute links in a single chain. As for ti:e generic nanu-, both (iray 

 and Cabants .stat<' that Cyanocitia (SnncKi.A.ND) was based upon the crested species, and, 

 therefore, is a synonym u( t'yanurus, Sw. Prof. Baird states, liowever, that Cyauocilla 

 Las as type C. californica. 1 have no opportunity, just at present, of satislying myself 

 vhich is right.
