. chry-s6-p5r-i'-5. Gr. xpvri', gold, and waptid, cheek. Greek diphthong u bocomps 

 long 1 in Latin : hence, -parla, not -pareia; see also beyond, among the names of pigeons 

 ending in -/x/iu. 



nlg-res'-cSns. Lat. nigresco, I grow black; an inceptive verb, present participle 

 tili/resreiis, equivalent to being blackish, or partly black. See No. 120. 



coe-rul-es'-cens [pronounced sayruliaysaynce]. Lat. cnrulcsco, I grow blue; a coined 

 inceptive verb from canulais, blue; this from calnm, the (blue) sky ; compare Gr. KOiXoi, 

 hollow, i. e., the vault of heaven, and cwlare or ctlare, to conceal, as if in a hollow place, 

 &c. N. B. Tlicre is constant difference of orthography: either ae- or cir- is defensible; 

 the former seems preferable. In English we may write indifferently cwrulean, cctrulean, 

 or cerulean. 



coe-rul'-g-a. See last word. 



c6r-5-na'-t5. Lat. comiatus, crowned, from corom, a crown, garland, or wreath. Gr. 

 Kopwt/ri. 



aQd'-fl-b6n-i. To John James Audubon, " the American backwoodsman;" as ho liked 

 to be called. 



black'-burn-ae. To Mrs. Blackburn, an English lady. Commonly written hhrl-burnia; 

 in four syllables, with accent on the antepenult ; more correctly as above. Diacritical 

 marks are futile in such a case as this ; the English name is never pronounced blark- 

 boorn, as it would be according to rule for the quantity of the vowels in Latin. 



strl-a'-t5. Lat. participial adjective from strio, I furrow, channel, flute, groove, striate, 

 stripe ; slria, substantive, a furrow, stripe, &c. 



cas-tan'-e-5. Lat. castanea, a chestnut ; in allusion to the bay or chestnut color. The 

 word is a noun, but is constantly used adjectivally. Gr. Ktxaravov, the nut of Castana, a 

 city of Thessaly.
