* This title, given by Boddaert, has hitherto been overlooked, possibly 

 because he omitted his usual suffix of " mihi." As it and Hermann's 

 bear the same date, and as the latter author seems to* have given his 

 name incidentally, I retain that of the Dutch naturalist. 



t I admit this title on the assumption that the North-African Centropus 

 differs specifically from that of West Africa, C. senegahnsis (L.).
