148 THE AUSTRAL AVIAN RECORD [Vol. III. 



introduced as new by our author. This gives Remiz valid 

 standing as of 1821 and makes it the oldest name for the 

 pendulinus group : Hartert in the Vogel Palaark. Fauna 

 used Anthoscopus Cabanis 1850, considering the type species 

 of that group as congeneric with pendulinus. 



Euphone. 



We construe this as equivalent to Euphonia used by Des- 

 marest in 1805 for the group known in the vernacular as 

 Euphone. The nomination of the Tanagroid species has 

 been involved and still is by the complex nature of vernacular 

 and other matters. Thus Tanagra and Tangara have been 

 regarded as different by some workers, as the same by others. 

 Euphone was latinised as Euphonia by Desmarest, but used 

 unaltered by Cuvier and Jarocki. A further complex has 

 been produced by Boie's nomination of a group by the name 

 Calliste. This name has been rejected on account of the 

 earlier Callista of Poli. But Poli's " generic " names should 

 not be regarded as valid, as Poli was not a binomial writer, 

 nor was he even " binary " as that word is interpreted in the 

 American sense, and which has been, in our view incorrectly, 

 accepted by the International Commission on Zoological 

 Nomenclature. Poli's Callista cannot be utilised for the 

 rejection of Calliste Boie, but it is possible that some writer 

 may have used it earlier than 1826. Euphone, if it be not 

 considered as equivalent to Euphonia, has for type the same 

 species as Calliste Boie and is earlier. 



We referred to Desmarest's Hist. Nat. Tangaras where we 

 found Euphonia, Ramphocelus and Manikup correctly proposed 

 and used as valid names. We note this, as Richmond (Proc. 

 U.S. Nat. Mus., Vol. XXIV., 1902, p. 694) recorded Manikup, 

 and some recent worker has declared that it only occurs 

 as a vernacular at the place given by Richmond. In the 

 copy referred to, it is correctly introduced and is undoubtedly 

 legitimately proposed. 



To those who accept names differing only in the termination, 

 Jarocki' s use of Psittaca ex Brisson will give trouble, as this
