251. Figured in Jerdon's III. Ind. Orn. pi. 47; but the inner hind- 

 claw should have been represented very minute. 



266. G. CHLOROLOPHos, (Vieillot) ; though give as P. chloropus, 

 v., in the Diet. Class. d'Hist. Nat. Hab. Also Tenasserim pro- 

 vinces. 



284. Hab. Also Siberia. 



285. A. Presented by Mr. Lea, of Philadelphia (1839). 



287. Erase P. assimilis, Natterer, which is a nearly alUed species, with 

 white scapularies and otherwise distinguished. Hab. Also Sindh 

 (Khyrpur). 



290. Hab. Also W. Asia (Trebizond). 



291. Syn. p. aurocristatus, Tickell, J. A. S. II, 579. 

 303. Syn. P. nanus. Vigors, P. Z. S, 1831, p. 172. 

 324. Syn. Bucco ar7nillaris, Temminck. 



327. Lisora, Upper Provinces. 



328. Syn. Bucco barbiculus, Cuvier, apud Strickland, founded upon 

 one of Levaillants's plates, and the bird erroneously assigned to the 

 Moluccas. 



329. Tanda, and Tanhak, Malay. 



330. Syn. Bucco Lathami apud Raffles, nee B, Lathami, Gmelin. 



340. "My C. flaviventris, Scopoli, is quite distinct from C. striatus" 

 Strickland. 



341. Syn. C. canor aides, Muller. "I have ascertained by compari- 

 son," writes Mr. Strickland, " that Dr. Horsfield's Javanese Cuckoo 

 is the true canorus of Europe. Muller also says that the Malay 

 island one agrees, in every respect, with canorus, and yet he gives it a 

 new name ! He foiind it in Sumatra, Borneo, and Timor." Most 

 probably, therefore, Mr. Gould's C. optatus, which is confined to the 

 northern part of Australia, is also no other ; and his figure certainly 

 agrees much better with C. canorus than with C, striatus. 



385. " The oldest name for this species is C. rufipennis, lUiger 

 {Berlin Trans., 1812)." Strickland. 



387. Mr. Strickland writes — "I still think that three species are con- 

 founded under this number. 



1. C. BENGALENSis, Gmeliu : C lepidus, Horsfield ; C dimidi- 

 atus, Blyth. Hab. India and Malay countries. Wing 6^ in. : 

 tail 8 in. 



2. C. viRiDis, Scopoli : C affinis, Horsfield ; and probably C. 

 pumilus. Lesson. Hab. Malay countries. Head and body 

 greenish-blacky wings palish chesnut. Length (of a specimen 

 now before me) about 11 in. only ; beak to gape | in. ; wing 5^ 

 in. ; tail 6 in. ; hind-claw I in. 



3. C. RECTUNGUis, Strickland. Body intense blue or purple 

 black; wings deep rufous. Beak to gape 1|^ in. ; hind-claw 

 almost straight, and only \ in. long. Hab. Malacca (as I judge 

 from the mode of preparation of the specimen)." 



393. Syn. TV. paradiseus, Bonap. 



394. Tr. collaris, Vieillot. Syn. Tr. rosalba, Cuvier; TV. auratus, 

 Swainson. Hab. Mexico, Demarara, &c.
