There ai)])i'ars to l>i' some confusion in irfrrcnco to the generic t< nii for these 

 species. In Lsj:J, lieichenbacii (I.e.) instituted the <^enus Cijditojiha'm, including 

 in it various species now considered to belong to ditt'erent genera. Tiie first one 

 named by him is Trfxliihifi hicolor, Linn. (17(i(i). — There is no such species given 

 liv I.inmcus, and the T. hicohr, Gmclin, is the species generally knowu as Thalu- 

 idnin mitjli rl. The next species TnxliUw^ caruhnvrns, "l.,odd.," is the T. ca-ruhi- 

 i/iihiriM, Gould, which sliould be the type of Cv.\NOl'HAiA, as the other species named 

 T. hizuhu*, Vieill., and T. doiibletlai/i, Bourc, belong respectively to Hyuk-iiakis. 

 BolK, and Iaciik, of this work. There remains only (hiehasiaigni, Bourc. which ia 

 the same as c.Kiu i.EiGULAKis, Goidd. — In 1N.")4, Bonaparte in Rev. and Mag. ZooL, 

 p. 2o(), proposed the genus Saithikonia, including nmny species of various genera. 

 His first species is ynii/i, belonging to Klcki'HAI.A, Reich., and then follow huida, 

 Shaw {= JitiMiliinui Iciicofyi), circe, Bourc., and (/ouh/cfhii/i, Bourc, (now placed 

 in the genus Iacue); larka. Less., and sapphironia, Gmel., comprised in Wwxy

 Reichenbach's Cyakoi'Uaia be employed for c.eruleigularis and goudoti. Lepi-
