 then in Strickland's collection called by him G. citrina appears to me 

 to be referable to G. cyanonota, Jard.

1 In 1841 (Ann. & Mag. N. H. vii. p. 26) Strickland advocated the use of 

 Boie's generic name Monticola (Isis, 1822, p. 552) for the Eock- Thrushes, and 

 again in Contrib. Orn. 1852, p. 147. But the latter name having been intro- 

 duced without any definition of characters ought not to supersede Vigors's well- 

 defined generic appellation (Rules of Nomenclature, clause 12).
