New Guinea Bird-names. 301 



Mr. Ogilvie-Grant, and also Rothschild and Hartert, whose 

 conclusions have been accepted^ in my ' Birds of Australia/ 

 At the present time, the undoubted fact is that my name 

 must be used for the Australian form, and consequently 

 Ogilvie-Grant's nomenclature, so far as that is concerned, is 

 wrong. If Rothschild and Hartert be right, which I doubt, 

 then the name of the bird Ogilvie-Grant is dealing with is 



SOLENOGLOSSUS ATERRIMUS ATERRIMUS. 



Page 242. Cacatua. 



Ogilvie-Grant has continued the usage of this name for 

 the genus I call Cacatoes. I here give the synonymy of the 

 generic names, which shows what a poor claim Ogilvie- 

 Grant's selection has. I will fully discuss the matter in my 

 ' Birds of Australia/ as the matter is very complex and 

 cannot be stated shortly here. 



? Kakadue Cuvier, 1798-1800. 



Cacatoes Dumeril, 1806. 



Catacus Rafinesque, 1815. 



Plijctolophus Vieillot, 1816. 



Cacatua Vieillot, 1817. 

 It is certain that whatever the ultimate designation of this 

 many-named genus may be, it will not be the last-named. 

 At present, and probably correctly, I use 



Cacatoes.

This name has apparently been accepted because Roth- 

 schild and Hartert used it in the Nov. Zool. vol. xx. 1913, 

 p. 486. In the same journal, two years previously, I had 

 written (vol. xviii. 1911, p. 13): — 



" It is of interest to point out that Dasyptilus of Wagler 

 [loc. cit. p. 502) is retained in the Cat. Birds, xx. p. 385, in 

 preference to Psittrichas Lesson, while, when Wagler intro- 

 duced his genus, he pointed out that he had been anticipated 

 in publication by Lesson with Psittrichas, and it is this note 

 that gives us some idea of the date of publication of
