* Mr. Strickland states that I have in my former edition transposed the 
names of Tamatia and Capito as used by Mr. Swainson. But Mr. Swain- 
son is not the proper authority for these genera, which were established, as 
Mr. Strickland is himself aware, by Cuvier and Vieillot. He believes, how- 
ever, that the genera of Cuvier and Vicillot were “ precisely the same 
group ;” but this is not correct. Capito of Vieillot was established in 1816 
with Bucco Cayanensis for its type, and I have therefore employed the 
name to designate the group to which that species belongs ; while Tamatia, 
although an old word, was applied by Cuvier in 1817 to B. macrorhynchus 
and other species, for which [ have retained it. We cannot say that these 
are “precisely the same group.”’ As for Nyctactes, it was only proposed 
by Gloger as a more classical word than Capito, and was therefore but a 
useless synonym of that genus. Having removed the typical Capito to 
its proper place among the Bucconine, it becomes necessary to apply a 
name to those which remain ; and as I cannot adopt that of Nyctactes, as 
proposed by Mr. Strickland,which would not be strictly correct, even on his 
own principle of regarding later names of precisely the same import as words 
to be “cancelled in toto,’’ I have proposed that of Chaunornis.
