48 THE AUSTRAL AVIAN RECORD [Vol. III. 



Fringilla rosea. 



This name given on p. 14 to pi. 230, f. 2, we do not find 

 in the Catalogue of Birds, and we have not determined it, 

 which is of little consequence, as the name is invalid on account 

 of the prior use of the name by Miiller 1776. 



TURDUS VIRENS. 



To this name, given on p. 16 to pi. 273, f. 1, the same 

 remarks apply as to the preceding, the name dating back to 

 Linne 1758. 



Alcedo cancrophagus. 



We have not traced this name given on p. 20 to pi. 334 

 in the Catalogue of Birds. It can be placed as a doubtful 

 synonym of Halcyon senegalensis (Linne), Syst. Nat., 12th 

 ed., 1766, p. 180, as the figure represents that species, but 

 the bill is given as wholly red, instead of the under mandible 

 black, and the underside painted buft'y instead of grey. 



Emberiza migrans. 



This name given on p. 30 for pi. 511, f. 1, is not included 

 in the Catalogue of Birds in the synonymy of Emberiza cia 

 Linne, though the plate is included. 



Cuculus ^neus. 



This name given on p. 36 to pi. 587 is included in the 

 Catalogue of Birds, but so many errors are apparent that the 

 following notes may help to relieve the position. 



In Catalogue of Birds, Vol. XIX., p. 402, a Ceuthmochares 

 ^cneus is admitted, the basis of which is Cuculus .ereus 

 Vieillot (Nouv. Diet. d'Hist. Nat., Vol. VIII., p. 229, 1817). 

 If it be accepted that Vieillot's cereus is a typographical 

 error for ceneus, then the Ceuthmochares must bear Stephen's 

 name ceratus (Gen. Zool., Vol. XIV., p. 210, 1826). 



On p. 412 Coua gigas is used, based on Boddaert's Cuculus 

 gigas, Tabl. PI. Enl., p. 56, 1783, for which is cited, " Le Grand 

 Coucou de Madagascar, PI. Enl., VI., pis. 587, 588, 1783."
