814 SA TIN-BIRD—SCAMEL 
SATIN-BIRD, one of the Bowrr-Birps (p. 49), Ptilorhynchus 
violaceus or holosericeus, so-called from its glossy plumage. 
SATIN-SPARROW, the name in Tasmania for Myiagra nitida, 
a FLYCATCHER. 
SAURIURA or SAURIURI, Prof. Hickel’s names in 1866 
(Gen. Morphol. i. p. exxxix.) for the first of his two Subclasses of 
Aves, consisting so far as is at present known of <Archxopteryx 
(FosstL Birps, pp. 278-280), his second Subclass being named 
Ornithure, and composed of two “Legions,” (1) Autophage or 
NiwiruG&, the latter therefore not used in the same sense as in the 
present work (p. 635); and (2) Padotrophe or INSESSORES (p. 459), 
which last differs from the meaning attached to it by Vigors. 
Prof. Huxley having adopted the modified term SAURURA# as 
one of his Orders (Proc. Zool. Soc. 1867, p. 418), it has come into 
general use, while Ornithure may be said to have lapsed.? 
SAUROGNATH, the late Prof. W. K. Parker’s name (Trans. 
R. Micros. Soc. 1872, p. 219) for the CELEoMoRPHa of Prof. 
Huxley (Proc. Zool. Soc., 1867, p. 456), consisting of the Picidx 
(WooDPECKER) and Jynginx (WRYNECK), thereby raising them to 
the same rank as the latter’s other Suborders of CARINATA. 
SAVANNA BLACKBIRD, a common West-Indian name of 
Crotophaga ani (ANI). 
SAWBILL, a name commonly given to the GOOSANDER and 
MERGANSER, and also used in some books for the Mormorts. 
SAW-SHARPENER, a widely-spread local name for the Great 
TirmousE, Parus major, from the peculiar song of the cock. 
SAW-WHET, a little OWL, Nyctala acadica, so-called in Audubon’s 
words (Orn. Biogr. ii. p. 567) from “the sound of its love-notes 
bearing a great resemblance to the noise produced by filing the 
teeth of a large saw.” 
SAYSIE, a name applied in South Africa to several FINCHES of 
the genus Crithagra (Layard, B. S. Afr. ed. 2, pp. 485-487). 
SCALE-DUCK, a local name for the SHELD-DRAKE. 
SCAMEL, a word, used once by Shakespear (Tempest, Act II. 
Se. ii., line 176), that has given rise to many conjectures (cf. Wright, 
Cambr. Shakesp. i. p. 51); but is commonly accepted as a bird’s 
name, a signification rendered more lkely by the fact that at 
Blakeney, on the coast of Norfolk, it was applied to a Gopwir 
(Stevenson, B. Norf. ii. p. 260), though it is not to be supposed that 
Shakespear used it in that sense. It seems to be otherwise 
1 Botanists, however, had made a prior application of Sawrurez.
