«o. 35. 

 The name of this genus has been lately changed into that of 

 ChalcophaneSfhy M.Temminck, [PI. Col. 214] on no grounds that 

 to me at least appear sufficient to authorise the erasure of an 

 established name. A change it is true has been still more lately 

 asserted to be necessary,* in consequence as is alleged of the name 

 being pre-occupied in Botany. If it is the Linnean genus Quis- 

 qualis that is alluded to (and I know no other that at all ap- 

 proaches to the name of M. Vieillot's genus), the change appears 

 to me uncalled for. Differing totally in the source from whence 

 it is derived, and in the signification which it bears, and clashing 

 neither in orthography nor pronunciation, Quiscw/w*+ can never, 

 I think, be confounded with Qm&qiuUis.

+ This appears to be the original Liuncan orthograpliy of the worJ. It has 

 latterly been written Quiicalus.
