Genus Ardea. 



125. Ardea purpurea, hmn. Le Heron poiirpre huppe , Buff. Crested 



Purple Heron, Lath. 



126. Ardea speciosa, Horsf. Darter Heron, Lath. 



This bird is without doubt the Darter Heron of Dr. Latham ; and 

 the Ardea speciosa of Dr. Horsfield is, I think, merely the Ja- 

 vanese type of the same bird. 



127. Ardea forra, Buch. Ardea Egretta, Lath. Ind. Orn. var. Ar- 



dea alba, Linn. var. Great Egret, Lath. Indian variety Torra 

 or Bughletar. 

 This is the Indian White Egret, and it differs only in size from the 

 European species, being somewhat smaller. Dr. Buchanan 

 named it Ard. Torra, and when without its filiform apjjendages 

 on the back, Ard. Putea ; so that these Indian terms appear 

 to correspond with Ard. Egretia and Ard. alba. 



128. Ardea Caboga, Penn. Caboga Heron, Penn. Gibraltar Heron, 



Lath. var. A. 

 The term Caboga is a corruption of the Indian term Gao-buga, Cow 

 or Cattle Heron, in allusion to its frequently being seen amongst 

 cattle, like the Gibraltar Heron.
