of Ulus, of Orn., pi. X , 2d Series, under which designation it was ar- 
ranged in the collections of Sir William Jardine and Mr. Selby, long 
previous to the publication of the second volume of the Nat. Hist. 
Series of the Cabinet Cyclop. 
(1) The following are considered to be the five subgeneric forms of 
Amadina, viz. — Estrelda , Sw. ; Amadina , Sw. ; Spermestes , Sw.; Ery- 
thura, Sw. ; and Pytelia, Sw. 
(2) Not having seen the types of Gould’s genus Geospiza, their sta- 
tion in the series cannot be determined, but in all probability they 
will enter among the Coccothruustincc . The groups are thus designated. 
Geospiza typified by Geospiza magnirostris, Camarhynchus typified by 
Cam. Psiltacula, Cactomis typified by Cact. scandens, and Certhidea typi- 
fied by Certh. olivacea — See Gould in Proc. of Zool. Society, 1837, pp. 
• r > and (L These forms belong to the Gallipagos, in which islands alone 
they have been found. 
(3) Linaria, proper ; Leucosticte, Sw. ; and Chloris are supposed to be 
three of the subgeneric groups of this genus.
