1. On THE GARRULINE Birps, oR JAYS; WITH DeEscCRIPTIONS 
oF NEw species. By Cuartes Lucien, PRINCE Bona- 
PARTE. 
(Aves, Pl. XVII.) 
Having elevated the Garruline Crows to the rank of a full family, 
the forty-eighth of my Natural Classification of Birds, I now consider 
the family Garrulide, (including, besides the Glaucopine, Baritine, 
and the Jays, also the Hopping Magpies, notwithstanding their 
stronger bill and closer relation to the Corvide,) as formed of four 
different groups (subfamilies or great genera as you may call them, 
according to your notions, and you admit or not subgenera). And I 
say four, although I do not separate the Magpies from the Jays, but 
consider them as Garruline, because to the three old subfamilies, 
Baritine, Glaucopine and Garruline, 1 now add a fourth, for the 
reception of a good many birds hitherto scattered in different families, 
whose affinity to the Jays, taken for mere analogy, is now clear and 
manifest to my eye. Garrulaz, Actinodura, Oriolia, Turnagra, or 
rather Otagon, distinct from the much more Garruline Keropia, with 
those Kitéte which are not Coraciine, are all members of this my 
new group, to which (however enlarged) I give or rather preserve the 
name Ptilorhynchine, as it includes also Chlamydera and Ptilo- 
rhynchus, which in Sturnide were out of their place. But the ob- 
ject of the present paper is merely the enumeration of the genera and 
species of my Garruline subfamily. 
The first that we meet, ending the Ptilorhynchine with Keropia, 
which may as well be the first of Garrulinze, is the genus Platylophus, 
Sw., judiciously changed by G. R. Gray, 1840, into Lophocitta, hitherto 
composed of but one species from Java, to which I now add a second 
from Sumatra, introducing to you the bird called Garrulus histriont- 
cus by Solomon Miller, struck in the native woods where he dis- 
covered it by its mimic gestures, whilst the skins he sent to the Ley- 
den Museum suggested the name of Garrulus rufulus, Temminck, 
than which there can be no better for closet-naturalists. I introduce 
it thus in the Systema Nature.
