67. C m. con-sp5r'-sQs. Lat. conspersus, speckled ; perfect participle of cnnsperrjo, from con 

 and s/;«)Y/o (Gr. vtrdpu), I strew, scatter, sprinkle ; whence English nimrse, scattered, and 

 many other words, as disperse, aspersion. — The Span, canon, brutalized as Eng. canyon, is 

 constantly used in the West for rocky gorge or mountain-pass. 



Thry-8-tho'-rQs lu-do-vI-cI-a'-nQs. Or. epiov, a reed, rush, and Oovpos, a leaping, spring- 

 ing, from {eSpa,), 0ptiaK(o, I run or rush tiirougli. The penult is marked long, as equiv.a- 

 lent to Gr. oO. — Lat. Liuloviciana, Louisiana, of or relating to rMloriciis, Louis (XIV., 

 of France). The old Territory was vastly more extensive than the present State is. 



T. 1. mI-5-mI-en'-sIs. LaHnizcd from the name of the Miami river in Florida. 



T. 1. b6r-15n'-dl-er-i. To Dr. Louis Berlandier, a naturalist, sometime resident in Mexico. 



T. be'-wTck-i. To Thomas Bewick, " the father of wood-engraving." 



T. b. Ieu-c6-gas'-ter [lewco-|. Gr. \fv,c6s, white, and yaariip, stomach, belly; whence 

 F^nglish gastric, gastronomy. 



73. T. b. spll-u'-rfls. Gr. o-jr/Aor, spotted ; oSpa, tail. 



74. Trog-W'-dy-tes [-tace] dem-es'-tl-cQs. Gr. rpwyXoUrvs, a cave-dweller, from Tpd,y\v, a 



cave (literally, a hole iiiiule l.y gnawing — Tpci7a., I gnaw), and Sirvs, .an inhabitant, 

 from Suva, or Uu, I go in or inider. The TpwyhMrat or Troqiod ijhe were a cave-dwelling 

 people of ^Ethiopia. The name was later applied to a kind of wren. — Lat. domesticus, 

 domestic, from domns,a. house. — The specific name f,7'V/»». applied by Yieillot to this 

 bird, is the Gr. ar)h<iv, a songster, par excellence the nightingale; from aeiSa, I sing. — The 

 pronunciation of Trof/lodi/ies wavers ; we mark it as commonly heard, and also as seems to 

 be defensible, in Latin, the penult being indubitably short; though to do so violates one 

 of the leading principles of Greek accentuation, that no word with the ultimate long 

 is a proparoxytone. Many persons say Tro(j'lodfi"tes, conformably with English Trog'- 

 lodyte". The case is precisely parallel with that of Lopho'phaiii-s, q. v.. No. 40; and the 

 analogy of ArisMphanes is not decisive, the Greek being ' kpurTo<pivns or 'Aptarotpaults, 

 not 'Api(rTd(pov7)s. 



75. T. d. park'-m5n-I. To Dr. George Parkman, of Boston, murdered by Professor John W. 



Webster, in 1849.
