The name Ampelis cincta is usually attributed to Boddaert who, 

 however, proposed no such title. The next in priority is A. superbus 

 of Shaw, but as this name was suggested solely on account of certain 

 orange-coloured spots produced by the application of heat to the purple 

 under- plumage of a bird, which that author a few pages before rightly 

 considered to be A. cotinga Linn., I think we may fairly be dispensed 

 from the necessity of calling this species Cotinga superba. Kuhl's title 

 is applied to Le Cotinga du Bresil of D'Aubenton (PI. Enl. 188).
