INTRODUCTION. 



1809. — Shaw, ' General Zoology." 



Two species are here named for the first time, Paradisea minor and Paradisea sanguinea, which will hereafter 

 take the place of papuana and rubra respectively. Ten other species are also given : — P. major, which is the 

 P. apoda ; P. nigra and nigricans, which equal Seleucides alba ; P. cirrhata and P. magnifica, the same as Diphyllodes 

 speciosa ; P. superba, which is Lophorina atra ; Paradisea sexsetacea (P. sexdennis), now composing the genus Parotia ; 

 P. regia ; P. aurantia, now the only species of the genus Xanthomelus ; P. leucoptera, a made-up bird ; and 

 P. gularis, which is Astrapia nigra. Paradisea chalybea, also included, is the Manucodia viridis. Species 14. 



1811. — Bechstein, ' Kurze Uebersicht aller bekannten Vogel.' 



A list of fifteen so-called species is given, similar to previous ones. None are described for the first time ; 

 P. sanguinea, of Shaw, is renamed rubra ; and P. sexsetacea (P. sexpennis) is called P. molacea. 



1811. — Shaw, 'General Zoology.' 



The Epimachus speciosus is here called by three different names, and placed in the genus Promerops, viz. P. 

 striatus, P. superbus, and P. paradiseus, all of which must become synonyms of the name bestowed upon the species 

 by Boddaert. 



1815. — Paykull, 'Nova Acta Societatis Scientiarum Upsaliensis.' 

 A^lurosdus crassirostris, first described as Lanius crassirostris. Species 15. 



1816. — Vieillot, ' Nouveau Dictionnaire D'Histoire Naturelle.' 

 Ptilonorhynchus violaceus described as Pyrrhocorax violaceus. Species 16. 



1819. — Vieillot, 'Nouveau Dictionnaire D'Histoire Naturelle.' 



In the genus Promerops, among various species of birds, Vieillot here includes some species of Paradise-birds of 

 the genus Epimachus and Ptiloris. The P. magnificus is named Le Promerops promefil (Falcinellus magnificus) ; and 

 Epimachus maximus is called Le Promerops a paremens /rises (Falcinellus superbus). A figure (uncoloured) of each 

 is also given. 



1820. — Kuiil, 'Beytrage zur Zoologie u. vergleich. Anatomie.' 

 Ptilonorhynchus violaceus redescribed as P. holosericeus. 



1822. — Latham, 'General History of Birds.' 



A long list of twenty supposed species of Birds of Paradise is included in this author's account ; but no neAv 

 ones are added, which is just as well, as they could not be credited to him, since he only uses English nomen- 

 clature. Some are founded upon drawings, others upon evidently manufactured specimens, and some on incomplete 

 descriptions. Nearly all the true species known at the time the work was written are included. 



1825. — Temminck, 'Planches Coloriees.' 



Sericulus melinus is described and figured as Oriolus regens. 



1825. — Vieillot, ' Galerie des Oiseaux.' 



Very fair figures of P. regia, P. sexpennis, P. atra, P. sanguinea, and Astrapia nigra are given, the last three 

 called respectively superba, rubra, and gularis. 



1825. SWAINSON, IN THE ' ZOOLOGICAL JOURNAL.' 



Ptiloris paradiseus is first described ; and Sericulus melinus is renamed ChrysocepMlus. Species 17. 



1825-1839. — Jardine and Selby, ' Illustrations of Ornithology,' 4to, vol. ii. 

 Ptilonorhynchus (Chlamydodera) nuchalis described for the first time. Species 18.
