bird be not in reality Bhinorfha chloro})him (Vig.), with which it very closely agrees, the red bill 

 excepted. Vieillot states that his type came from Java. 



Trogon maculatus, Gm., ex Brown, 111. p. 26, 1. 13. fig. super, from Ceylon ; a Lamjprococcyx 

 in spotted immature plumage. Gmelin's title was altered to Chrysococcyx smaragdinus by 

 Mr. Blyth (J. A. S. B. 184G, p. 53) as inapplicable, although Brown's figure " certainly represents 

 a variety or incidental state of plumage of this species." Mr. Moore also considered Gmelin's 

 designation " quite inapplicable," but rejected that of Mr. Blyth as previously employed by 

 Swainson, and substituted Chrysococcyx hodgsoni (Cat. E. I. Co. Mus. ii. p. 705, 1856-58). Dr. 

 Cabanis, who quotes Brown and (imelin with doubt, separates Chalcites smaragdinus, Sw., 

 generically from the Indian bird, and therefore restores Mr. Blyth's title. The name given by 

 Gmeliu appears to me quite as applicable as either of the two more recent ones, and I therefore 

 shall retain it. Should Continental specimens differ specifically from Cingalese, Mr. Blyth's name 

 would stand for the Indian bird. 



I shall now subjoin a list of the Linntean and Gmelinean species referred to their correct 

 genera, with the titles they will have to bear.
