132 THE AUSTRAL AVIAN RECORD [Vol. IV. 



1801. The Vorrede is dated October 1801, The birds are 

 described in alphabetical order of vernaculars, preceded by a 

 synopsis, noting division of birds into six orders — ^Accipitres, 

 Picse, Anseres, Grallse, Gallinse and Passeres. Throughout 

 the book names are given without authority, and many new 

 names are proposed. Why Newton selected for use Prenzel's 

 Scolopax ccelestis and did not refer to the others, we cannot 

 understand. As before noted, we cannot determine the exact 

 application of all the names proposed, but here give the list 

 and hope they will be carefully considered at the first oppor- 

 tunity by some competent authority. We give the vernaculars, 

 but it will be noted these differ from the ones now in use and 

 are probably only local names invented by Frenzel himself. 

 While on the subject of Palsearctic bird names we might 

 point out that Motacilla ^wgr^t6r^5 Temminck 1820 is anticipated 

 by Motacilla lugubris Lichtenstein 1819, and the name of the 

 British Pied Wagtail must become Motacilla alba yarrellia 

 Gould. We will deal in detail with this in a succeeding article.
