Gmelin appears to have overlooked Sonnerat's description and plate. Latham (Ind. Orn. Tr. Z. s. ix. 

 ii. p. 659, no. 4) identified Sonnerat's species with Otis amhs, Linn., but subsequently (Gen. ^' "'''' 

 Hist. I. c.) treated it as a separate variety of that species. Vieillot (N. Diet. xxiv. p. 294) adopted 

 Latham's original view, but later {I. c.) regarded Sonnerat's Bustard as a distinct Philippine 

 species, and gave it the title above cited. Temminck was the first to point out (Recueil d'Ois. 

 90^ livr.) that Sonnerat's Paon sauvacje belonged to a species distinct from Otis arabs ; and on the 

 subsequent discovery of Otis kori by Burchell, Temminck at once {I. c.) identified it with 

 Sonnerat's species, Eiippell {torn. cit. p. 218) having in the mean time united Sonnerat's Bustard 

 to the Indian Otis nigriceps. Professor Schlegel and the majority of recent authors have 

 adopted Temmiuck's view. Dr. v. Martens, however {I. c), classes Sonnerat's bird as a Plover, 

 and remarks, " Diesen Kibitz finde ich nirgends citirt."
