A COLLECTION OF BIRD-SKINS FROM SIAM. 209 
tenwirostris cecur in Siam, the latter as a resi:lent, and the former as a 
winter visitor only. The latter is only a resident sub-species of the 
former, the sedentary bird already shewing by its shorter wing the effects 
of its giving up its migratory habits. 
It will be seen that I retain the name indicus for this Oriole. 
The original description is that of Aldrovandus (vili, p. 862, 1599), in 
which he gives a very good description of this bird, but replaces the 
black by blue. As Jerdon points out this is probably a clerical error 
only, for the accompanying plate figures unmistakably a Black-naped 
Oriole. Its habitat is given as “in India,” and I[ have no doubt it 
refers to the present species. Brisson, referring to Aldrovandus 
(Ornithology ii. p. 328, 1760, and in Buffon’s Planches Eluminées 
p. 281, 1774), of course repeats the error, and substitutes blue for 
black.

Hartert has shewn (‘ Novitates Zoologicae” 1918, p. 361) that 
the proper name for this Oriole is luteolus of Linnaeus 1758, who first 
gave it the name of Sturnus luteolus, but later in the xii. ed. (1766) 
changed it to Oriolus melanocephalus.
