* The oldest name for this bird is, no doubt, Turdus doininiciis of P. L. S. 

 Miiller (S. N. Anhang, p. 14.") ; Cass. Pr. Pbilad. Acad. 1S(U. p. 251), a gentle- 

 man wbo brought out an edition of Limi.tus's ' Systema >'atur.'e ' and included 

 species published since ITOli. The date at which he wrote (1776) enabled bim 

 to name several of D'Aubenton's ' Planches Enluuiinees,' to which be was the 

 first to give titles. It is a great question whether this author is entitled to 

 recognition at the hands of ornithologists, as he was apparently colour-blind — 

 witness his bestowing the name of liridis upon the rufous-aud-grey Terjmjjhone 

 of Souih Africa, and castanca upon the totally black J'hilcpitta j<da of Mada- 

 gascar ! In the case of Lalage terat he has committed himself greatly, as he has 

 not noticed the numbers of the figures on D'Aubenton's plate, and has named 

 the upper bird ("Merle des Indes orientales") dorainica, instead of the under 

 figure, which represents a bird from San Domingo ; to this he has given the name 

 of itidicus.
