* Prof. Newton (I. c.) ascribes this name to Reichenbach's ' Synopsis 

 Avium,' on the authority of the late Mr. G. R. Gray ; but on consulting 

 two copies of the work referred to (Mr. Sclater's, and that in the library 

 of the Zoological Society of London), I have been unable to find any men- 

 tion of it. It is true a figure of the bird, evidently copied from Temminck's 

 ' Planches Coloriees,' is given (fig. 706) on a plate in the Society's copy ; 

 but no name is assigned to it, and no reference is made to this plate in the 

 index. In Mr. Sclater's copy, the entire plate (on which seven other 

 species are also figured) is wanting.
