THE OOLOGIST. 



not more than a fortnight subsequently, a- 

 lone, the man openly chased the bird and 

 shot it. Much depends upon the country 

 in which the bird is found, and whether it 

 had previously been &hot at. or not. 



(General Topics. 



— Our correspondent, Mr. Severance of 

 Mexico, N. Y., says that the first speci- 

 men of Guiraca ludoviciana he ever ob- 

 served in that portion of the State was no- 

 ticed there on the 16th of May. . . Seve- 

 ral Scarlet Tanagers have also been seen 

 this spring at that place. None have yet 

 been seen at Utica, but at West Winfield 

 we hear that " hundreds have been seen," 

 which is something quite unusual here. 



— Dr. Coues, in the Bulletin, of the 

 Nuttall Club has changed the name of the 

 old genus ISeim'us to jSiurus and also has 

 stricken out the specific names aiirocajnl- 

 lus, noveboracensis and ludovicianus and 

 substituted therefor respectively, anrica- 

 pillus^ uivvius, and montacilla. As al- 

 ways in the altering of scientific names we 

 anticipate "mixtures," and since the recent 

 great changes in classification and nomen- 

 clature began to be brought about, one is 

 almost inclined to view the Latin name 

 which is to be the "standard" throughout 

 the world as of very complicated significa- 

 tion : representing a much wider variety of 

 meanings than do English synonyms.
