 Again Cabanis, Mus. Hein., Vol. T., uses a lot of Reichenbach's 

 names, and these may date from that entry, as there can be 

 little or no certainty in the identification of the figures given 

 by Reichenbach. Thus Gray in 1855, p. 75, includes 



" Periporphyrus Reichenb. 1850. Loxia erythromelas Gm. 

 Caryothraustes Reichenb. 1850. Pitylus atroolivaceus Lafr." 



Cabanis, p. 144, used Caryothraustes Reichb. 1850 for C. 

 viridis 1\ oh =^C. cayanensis J^vias. ^=Coccothraiistesviridis Vieill. 

 and C. hrasiliensis Nob with a footnote " Der brasilische Vogel 

 ist in alien Dimensionen grosser als der von Cayemie, welcher 

 nach Limie zuerst von Vieillot benaimt wurde. — Pityliis atro- 

 olivaceus Lafr. gehort wahrscheinlich nicht zu Caryothraustes, 

 sondern als Weibchen zu Periporphyrus atropurpuratus (Lafr.)" 



This is probably with reference to some discussion unknown, 

 as Bonaparte p. 503 had included Periporphyrus Reichenb. 

 1850 with two species Pitylus atropurpuratus Lafr. and Loxia 

 erythromelas Gm. and Caryothraustes Reichenb. 1850 with 

 Pitylus atro-olivaceus Lafr., Fringilla episcopus Licht. and 

 Loxia canadeneis J^.^^ cayanensis Bp. 



A good instance of the confusion even at that time is seen in 

 the instance of Prosecusa. Cabanis used this (p. 110) as of 

 Reichenb. 1850 for Lanius melanocephalus Gm. and in a footnote 

 stated " Typus der Gattung. ist P. chalcocephala=Ixo8 

 chalcocephalus Temm." 



Gray, in 1855, p. 47, cited Prosecusa Reichenb. 1850 as a 

 synonjin of Brachypodius Bl. 1845 with type Lanius melano-
