tionably this species. Vieillot knew the other species, ■which he 

 figured and described in the same work. Bonaparte called it 

 Seiurus motacilla in 1850, though in 1824 he had called the other 

 species Turdus motacilla, and Cabanis, in 1857, Henicocichla mo- 

 tacilla ; but writers have usually adopted Audubon's term luclovici- 

 anus, proposed in 1832, notwithstanding that this author soon 

 abandoned his species, under the wrong impression it was not dif- 

 ferent from S. iKxvius. " Siurus motacilla " is not a very choice 

 name, meaning " wagtailed Wagtail," but it is no worse than 3his 

 muscidus, Xanthocephalus icterocephalus, Columha pahmibus, Regidus 

 satrapa, and a host of other names, the two terms of which mean 

 the same thing ; nor as bad as Sialia sialis, Ciqndonia aqndo, the 

 sense and sovmd of which agree. 



I append the synonymy of the species of this genus, the list of • 

 names here to be given being much more accurate, more extensive, 

 and more nearly complete than any hitherto collated :
