(color understood;, out aunceps, auncouw, a. unparus, etc. so also, 
if we were to compound with the adjective aureus, “ golden,” we 
should say, e. g., aureicauda, not ciureocaudatus. Either aureicapillus 
or auricapillus is correct, but aurocapillus is not. 
3. Name op the Small-billed Water-Thrush. — It is to be 
noted that Motacilla noveboracensis of Gmelin, 1788, is precisely the 
same as Motacilla- naevia of Boddaert, 1783, both being based upon 
Planche Enluminee 752, fig. 1, which is the Fauvette tachetee de la 
Louisiane of Buffon, afterward the New Yorlc Warbler of Pennant 
and Latham. G. R. Gray seems to have observed this fact, but 
neither ho nor any other author, according to my recollection, has 
acted upon the obvious requirement of the case, namely, that we 
must say Siu-rus naevius (Bodd.), instead of S. noveboracensis (Gm.). 
Very curiously, Gmelin in another place made this species out to be 
a variety of the Capo May Warbler, Perissoglossa tigrina ; for, 
Gmelin’s Motacilla tigrina var. /3 (and so, also, Latham’s Sylvia 
tigrina var. $) is based exclusively upon the Ficedula dominicensis 
fusca of Brisson, Ornith., iii, 513, which is tho Small-billed Water- 
Thrush. Vieillot, in 1807, noticed this curious circumstance, which 
authors have generally overlooked, and correctly allocated the 
synonymy. The name ncevius is unobjectionable, has priority, and 
must obtain. . 
4. Name of the Large-billed Water-Thrush. — This is properly 
Siurus motacilla (Vieill.), Bp., for the Turdus motacilla, accurately 
described and recognizably figured by Vieillot in 1807, is unques- 
reason, common sense certainly tells us to spell correctly if we can. If we are 
always to preserve the original forms of names, we must, for example, say Scopo- 
lax instead of Scolopax — it so stands in Linn. Syst. Nat. i, 1766, p. 242.
