, ^*,^3aP4. D. pgnn-syl-va'-nl-ca. An adjective coined from sylvamts, sylvan, this from syJca, which 

 is sibilated and digammated from Gr. v\t]= {<T)v\Fri, a wood; preceded by the name of 

 William Penn ; " Penn's woods." The modern use of the y is less correct than i would 

 be. The whole word would preferably be written pensilvanica, as it is in some ornitho- 

 logical works of the last century. 



125. D. ma-cul-o'-sa. Lat. 7n«ci(/os!(s, spotted or full of spots ; macu/a, a spot. 



126. D. tig-rl'-na. Lat. %nn!<s, striped (like a tiger, tifiris, Gr. Tiypis). The quantity of the 



antepenult is doubtful, perhaps common. By ordinary rule, it is long, and Tigris makes 

 the final spondee of some hexameter lines. On the other hand, the combination of a 

 mute or/* and a liquid does not necessarily lengthen a preceding vowel in prose; and 

 some other combinations of consonants also permit the vowel to remain short, in cases 

 of Greek words, as Cyrnris or Cygmts. We leave it short, as usually heard. — Perisso- 

 glossa, a generic name now often used for this species, is the Gr. Trepicraos and yKoocraa, in 

 allusion to the peculiarity of the laciniate tongue. 



127. D. dis'-c61-6r. Lat. (//sco/or (post-classic), party-colored; opposed to co/ico/or, whole-colored. 



128. D. gra'-cT-ae. To Mrs. Charles A. Page, ne'e Grace Darling Coues, the author's sister. 



Would more strictly be written gratis (Lat. gratia, grace, favor, thanks). 



129. D. d6m-in'-I-ca. Lat. dominicus, relating to the lord or master of the household, dominns ; 



domus, a house. So, to dominate, to have dominion. The application is here to the West 

 Indian island named originally Hayti, then San Domingo. The bird was early described 

 from that locality. 



130. D. d. al-bl-16'-ra. Lat. albus, white, and lonim, the lore or cheek. See Panda, No. 94. 



131. D. kirt'-land-i. To Dr. Jared P. Kirtland, of Ohio. See remarks under Z>. WaciiuniOE. 



132. D. pal-ma'-rum. Lat. palmarum, of the palms, genitive plural of pal ma, a palm.
