 Vestiaria, Remiz, Cardinalis, with some notes of interest in 

 connection with the other names. The most important may 

 be first dealt with. 



Cardinalis. 



This name is legitimately proposed for the Cardinal Tanagers 

 of Cuvier, the example above given being Tanagra rubra GL. 

 Thus Cardinalis falls as a synonym of Piranga Vieillot 1807, 

 but it becomes fatal to Cardinalis now in use for the Cardinal 

 Finch. Bonaparte utilised this name from Brisson, but the 

 latter only used it in a specific sense. It is accepted in 

 the Amer. Ornith. Union's 3 Ed. of their Check List, 1910, 

 p. 282, for one species alone. Ridgway gives no generic 

 synonymy, nor does such appear in the Catalogue of Birds 

 in the British Museum. We have searched through Richmond's 

 Lists and have failed to find any synonym, consequently 

 we are compelled to conclude this particular species has 

 escaped the common fate of most attractive birds. It is a 

 perilous step, but we will attempt to rectify this matter by 

 introducing the novel genus name 



RlCHMONDENA, ^ 



naming Loxia cardinalis Linne as type as Richmondena 

 cardinalis. We sincerely hope that this name will remain
