allusion to the lack of crest. Tiie word primarily means smooth, even in the sense of

to CIS, on this side; and mariim, marine, relating to the sea, mare ; in allusion to the deep

358. Xan-thu'-r5 lux-fl-rI-6'-s5. Or. ^ai/fltfs, yellow, and oZpa, tail. — Lnxunsn was doubtless 



intended by Lesson for Lat. Iii.niridsn, lu.xurious, in allusion to the elegant coloration. 



This stands in the orig. ed. as A', i/iiras var. luxiiosa, but proves to be distinct from the 

 Peruvian i/iicas. 



369. Pfir-I-so'-rC-iis c5n-5-d5n'-sIs. I'mli- litriraturf One of the dictionaries gives a sorix, 

 defined as a bird dedicated to Saturn ; whence Pcrisortus might be derived as an adjec- 

 tival form, intensified l)y the preposition piri-. This would accord in idea with the term 

 infinistus bestowed Ijy liinna'us on the ICuropean species, and also with I>i/.toniiihla, the 

 generic t' nn invented by Swainson ; there being some superstition attaching to the jays 

 of this gel. us. But we advance tliis etymology as mere conjecture. We may note also 

 the Gr. <Top6s, a tomb or sepulchre. 



330, P. c. fia'-ml-fr5ns. Lat. yiiwius, smoke, and/ion.s, forehead; related to Or. 6vw, I offer
