352. C. s. mac-ro'-lo-pha. Gr. ^aKr:6s, long, and \6(pos, a mane, crest, comb, from AeVw, as is 



also \eir[s, KiiTos, a scale, and many similar \Vords. Usually pronounced macrolo'pha. 



353. C. s. fron-ta'-lls. 'L^ii. frontalis, relating to//Wis, the forehead, front. 



354. A-phe-16'-c6-ma flo-ri-da'-na. Gr. a(pi\ris, smooth, sleek, and kout], Lat. coma, hair ; in 



allusion to the lack of crest. The word primarily means smooth, even in the sense of 

 free from stones ; o privative, and (pf\6s or (pfWos, a stone ; <peWevs, rocky soil, &c. 



355. A. f. wood-hoGs'-i-i. To S. W. Woodhouse, M. D., of Philadelphia, who explored in 



New Mexico and Arizona. 



356. A. f. cal-i-for'-ni-ca. To the State of California. 



357. A. ul-tra-mar-i'-na a-rl-z6'-nae. Lat. ufca, beyond, from the adverb u/s, beyond, opposed 



to cis, on this side ; and marina, marine, relating to the sea, tnare ; in allusion to the deep 

 blue color, as of the high sea ; " ultramarine " blue. — See Peuccea, No. 25-3. 

 This stands in the orig. ed. as A. sordida, " Sieber's Jay." 



358. Xan-thu'-ra lux-u-ri-o'-sa. Gr. ^avOSs, yellow, and ovpa, tail. — Luxuosa was doubtless 



intended by Lesson for Lat. htxuriosa, luxurious, in allusion to the elegant coloration. 



This stands in the orig. ed. as X. yncas var. luxuosa, but proves to be distinct from the 

 Peruvian yncas. 



359. P6r-i-so'-rg-us can-a-den'-sis. Unde deriratur? One of the dictionaries gives a sortx, 



defined as a bird dedicated to Saturn ; whence Perisoreus might be derived as an adjec- 

 tival form, intensified by the preposition peri-. This would accord in idea with the term 

 infausUis bestowed by Linna;us on the European species, and also with Dysornithia, the 

 generic term invented by Swainson; there being some superstition attaching to the jays 

 of this genus. But we advance this etymology as mere conjecture. We may note also 

 the Gr. aopos, a tomb or sepulchre. 

 330. P. c. fij'-ml-frons. Lat. fumus, smoke, and frons, forehead; related to Gr. 6ia>, I offer 

 incense.
