94 THE AUSTRAL AVIAN RECORD [Vol. III. 



Ueb, p. 81, pi. 9 f 2, 1811. I have shown in connection with 

 Psittacus geoffroyi that this chronology is wrong, Bechstein 

 having priority, but here it is of little account as Shaw's name 

 was invalid twice over, once by Forster in the paper previously 

 dealt with. This leaves Bechstein's name as the valid species 

 name. 



Salvadori rejected Phigys, G. R.Gray, Handlist, II., p. 154, 

 1870. noting: "The term Phigys, generally attributed to 

 Lesson (Tr: d'Orn., p. 193, 1831) was not used by him as a 

 generic name, but as a French name for the second tribe of 

 the sub-genus Lorius" This is quite right, but this does not 

 invalidate G. R. Gray's correct introduction of the name at 

 the place cited. This was earlier than Sundevall's proposal 

 of Calliptilus, so that we arrive at the name to be used as 



Phigys phigy Bechstein, 

 instead of the one given in the Catalogue of the Birds in the 

 British Museum.
