34r4. Pi-cl-cor'-vus c6-lum-bi-a'-nus. The generic name is compounded of pica and corvus : 

 see tliese words, Nos. 347 and 338. — The specific name refers to the Columhia River, 

 whence Lewis and Clarke first brought specimens. 



345. Gym-n6-cit'-ta cy-an-6-cgph'-a-la. Gr. yvfivos, naked ; in allusion to the nostrils being 



exposed, as is unusual in this family ; /c/rra or Kiacra, a jay. — See Scolecophagus, No. 3.32.

 brown gem," in allusion to the color, which is remarkable in this group of birds. 



347. Pi'-ca rQs'-ti-ca hud-s6n'-i-ca. Lat. pica, a magpie. It is supposed b}' some to be for 



piga, that equivalent to pigta or picta, from pingo, I paint; hence signifying painted, 

 speckled, pied. The same dubious etymology is ascribed to the masculine form of the 

 word, picus, which see, No. 433. — Lat. rusticus, rustic, rural, from rus, the country as dis- 

 tinguislied from the city. — To Hudson's Bay, named after Henry Hudson, the explorer.

351. C. s. an-nec'-tens. Lat. annedens (oc? and nerto, to bind), annexing, annectant, connecting, 



tying together; because this subspecies is intermediate between others of the same stock, 

 serving to link them to each other.
