1787. Latham, Dr. J. General Synopsis of Birds, Supplement (4to), pp. 127-133. 



Like the general body of the work, the Supplement only gives English names. The following 

 are four additional species : — - 



No. 51. Ash-bellied Creeper, = Cinnyris verticalis (Lath. 1790). 



No. 57. Tufted Creeper, = Certhia cirrhata, Lath., 1790, which cannot, I think, be deter- 

 mined, but is probably Cinnyris zenobia, Less. 1826. 



No. 59. Yellow-winged Creeper {Certhia chrysoptera, Lath. 1790), = Cinnyris asiaticus (Lath. 

 1790). 



No. 60. Long-billed Creeper, =Arachnothera longirostra (Lath. 1790). 



1788. Gmelin, O. P. Linna;i Systema Naturae (8vo), vol. i, pp. 469-483, 964. 

 Twenty-five species of the genus Certhia and one Motacilla appear to be Sun-birds. For 



fifteen of these, Linnean titles are employed ; and for one of them a name of Scopoli's is adopted. 

 Of the remaining ten, 



Certhia souimanga (ex Le Soui-manga, Montb. 1778)= Cinnyris souimanga of this work. 



C. brasiliana (ex Le Grimpereau violet du Bresil, Briss. 17 60)= Cinnyris hasselti (Temm. 

 1825). The name brasiliana is to be rejected, as conveying a wrong idea of the habitat of 

 the bird. 



Motacilla singalensis (ex Green Warbler, Brown, 187 6)= Anthreptes phcenicotis (Temm. 

 1824). This species being unknown in Ceylon, the name singalensis cannot be employed. 



The following fresh titles become synonyms of already published names : — 



Certhia aurantia (ex Orange-breasted Creeper, Lath. 1781) and C. cinerea (ex Cinereous 

 Creeper, Lath. 1781), =Anthobaphes violacea (Linn. 1766). 



C. omnicolor (ex Avis zeylonicus omnicolor, Seba) ; 



C. falcata (ex Sickle-billed Creeper, Lath.); 



C. maccassariensis (ex Avis Thioci, Seba) : 



All three names probably belong to Cinnyris lotenius (Linn. 1766). 



I cannot say to what species Certhia indica (ex Polytmus cceruleus indicus, Briss.) should be 

 referred ; and C. manillensis is equally difficult to determine, unless Latham is correct in the 

 additional characters which he ascribes to this species (Ind. Orn. i, p. 283), which would lead 

 one to the belief that it may possibly be intended for Anthreptes chlorigastra, Sharpe, 1875. 



1790. Latham, Dr. J. Index Ornithologicus (4to), vol. i, pp. 280-301. 



Seventy-four species of Certhia are enumerated ; but of these only thirty-two appear to belong 

 to our family. The following six new names are given by the author : — 



No. 22. Certhia asiatica, sp. n., from India, = Cinnyris asiaticus of this work.
