The following year Cuvier (‘ Regne Animal,’ p. 401) proposed the genus Colaris to include the 
Broad-billed Rollers, and first gave the scientific name of Coracias cyanogaster to Levaillant’s Rollier 
a ventre blue (pi. 26). 
In 1819 Vieillot (Nouv. Diet. d’Hist. Nat. pp. 425-436) included in his list of Rollers, besides 
several not referable to this family, seventeen species, viz.:— Eurystomus cyanocollis and fuscicajyillus 
{Eurystomus orientalis\ E. gularis, E. rubescens {E. afer), E. violaceus (E. glaucurus), E. purpur- 
ascens {E. afer), Galgulus garrulus [Coracias garrulus), Coracias caudata, Coracias pilosa[C.nmmus)^ 
Garrulus neevius [Coracias indicus), Coracias indica, Galgulus caudatus [Coracias caudatus), Coracias 
senegala [C. ahyssmicus), Coracias ncevia, Garrulus temmincTcii [Coracias temmincM), Coracias facifica 
[Eurystomus pacificus), and Garrulus cyanogaster [Coracias cyanogaster), —and here first described 
Eurystomus gularis and gave the name temmincTcii to Levaillant’s Rollier Temminck. 
In 1823 Vieillot gave another list of the Rollers (Tabl. Encycl. et Method, pp. 866-872), much 
the same as that in the Nouv. Diet., placing all the Coracice under the genus Galgulus, and the 
Eurystomi under Eurystomus. 
In 1827 Wagler (Syst. Avium) gave a review of the family, grouping the species in two sections, 
Coracias and Colaris \ and in 1832 Lesson (Ill. Zool. pi. 20) described and figured 
leptosomus, placing it in the genus Colaris. 
In 1834 Lafresnaye (Rev. et Mag. de Zool.) instituted the Erachypteracias, the type being 
B. leptosomus, and in the same volume (pi. 32) he described and figured Atelornis pittoides under 
the name of BracJiypteracias pittoides. 
In 1837 Swainson (Classif. of B. ii. p. 333) proposed the genus Chloropygia for BracJiypteracias, 
and in the following year (Rev. et Mag. de Zool. pi. 224) Lafresnaye described and figured BracJiy¬ 
pteracias sguamiger. 
In 1839 MacClelland (P. Z. S. 1839, p. 164) described Coracias affinis, and in 1845 Riippell 
(Syst. Uebers. p. 23) included in his list of the birds of Abyssinia Coracias ncevius under the name of 
“ Coracias levaillantii, Temm.; ” but I have been unable to find where Temminck made use of this 
specific name. In the same year Gray (Gen. of B. i. p. 61) gave a list of the Rollers and figured 
Coracias affinis, and in 1846 Pucheran (Rev. Zool. 1846, p. 200) proposed the genus Atelornis, the 
type being A. pittoides. 
Reichenbach in 1852 (‘Meropinee,’ pp. 45, 57) gave a review of the family, proposing the 
generic title of Crombus in place of Leptosomus, and divided the genus Eurystomus into two sections, 
Eurystomus and Colaris, and he also figured all the known species of Rollers ; and in 1854 
Bonaparte (Consp. Volucr. Anisod. p. 7) defined two new genera, Coraciura (type Coracias 
cyanogaster) and Corapitta (type Atelornis pittoides), neither of which, however, stand. Dr. Sharpe 
remarks (Cat. B. Brit. Mus. xvii. p. 7) that the latter name should have been written Coracopitta 
instead of Corapitta.
