* On the true C. perm, L., see Riippell, Arcliiv fiir Naturgesch. xvii. 

 i. p. 316, also Hartlaub, op. cit. xviii. i. p. 18, and Contr. Oru. 1852, for 

 translation. See likewise Swainson, B. W. Afr. i. p. 225, and Verreaux, 

 Rev. Zool. 1851, p. 257. The subject has been much discussed, yet not 

 exhausted. The species figured and described by Albin (Birds, ii. p. 18, 

 t. 19. 1738) must be regarded as the Linnaean type, and not, as has 

 hitherto been done, that of Edwards.
