50 THE AUSTRAL AVIAN RECORD. [Vol. III. 



MOTACILLA CINEREA. 



This name was allotted on p. 41 to the bird figured on 

 pi. 674, f. 1, and though this figure is referred to as a synonym 

 of Motacilla alba in the Catalogue of Birds, Vol. X., p. 464, 

 Boddaert's name is not mentioned. In any case it is invalid 

 on account of the prior Motacilla cinerea (1 Tunstall), Orn. 

 Brit. 1771. 



Ampelis grisea. 



This name given on p. 43 to pi. 699 has not been determined 

 by us. The plate appears to represent the female of some 

 species of Cotinga or allied genus, but we have found nothing 

 exactly agreeing. 



Muscicapa eques. 



We have not specifically identified the plate, 831 f. 1, to 

 which the name was given on p. 51, but the figure appears to 

 have been drawn from a specimen of the genus Hadrostomus. 



ARDEA NYCTICORAX CAYANENSIS. 



This name provided on p. 54 for pi. 899 is not cited in the 

 Catalogue of Birds, Vol. XXVI., p. 131, where it should be 

 placed as a synonym of Nycticorax violaceus (Linne). 



CHARADRIUS NIGER. 



Though this name does not appear in the Catalogue of 

 Birds, Vol. XXIV., p. 32, as a synonym of Pluvianus 

 cegyptius (Linne), the plate (918) to which Boddaert gave the 

 above name (p. 55) is there included. 



Ardea garzette major. 



This name appears in the Catalogue of Birds, Vol. XXVI. , 

 p. 90, in the synonymy of Herodias alba (Linne), though the 

 plate, 925, on which it is based is given in the synonymy of 

 Herodias egretta (Gmelin), p. 95, which is correct. Boddaert's 

 name is earlier than Gmelin's, but cannot be used on account 

 of the still earlier use of Ardea major by Linne (Syst. Nat., 

 XTIth Ed., 1766, p. 236), for a different bird.
