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, v iz. — 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 Coccothraustince. The groups are thus designated. 
Geospiza typified by Geospiza magnirostris , Camarhynchus typified by 
Cam. Psittacula, Caciornis typified by Cact. scandens, and Certliidea typi- 
fied by Certh. olivacea — See Gould in Proc- of Zool. Society, 1 837, pp. 
5 and 6. 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.
