POULTRY NOMENCLATURE. 
In noticing the comments on the Prize schedule of the 
Amateur Poultry Society of Dublin, which appear in your 
number of 11th May, we beg to say, that while we admit 
the importance of uniformity of nomenclature, and are 
aware of the variety of synonyms, we, nevertheless, cannot 
consent to adopt a nomenclature which we believe to he 
erroneous, no matter under whose auspices put forward. For 
thin very reason, the broad distinction of dividing all Poultry 
into “those with Combs, and those with Crests," was adopted. 
This arrangement was chosen by Mr. Richard Palmer 
Williams, in a paper on “ The different varieties of poultry 
then known,” which was read by him before the Dublin 
Natural History Society some years ago; when the only 
works then on the subject were Dickson and Mowbray. 
In remarking on the term Hamburgh, you observe, “ We 
are well aware how fondly Irish breeders have clung to this 
appellation,” viz., the Tufted Hamburghs. Would it not be 
well to enquire, Is there not a reason ? 
On this point, we beg to say, we believe Exhibitions of 
Poultry for public competition originated with the Royal 
Dublin Society in 1840; and these crested fowl were then, 
and for half a century, known in Ireland as Hamburgh 
Fowl; from which country the breed was had, and which 
figures in all the paintings of Poultry two hundred years 
ago, viz., the White-crested Red (see also Bees’s Cyclopaedia). 
The Pencilled fowl (Bolton Greys) now attempted to ho 
called Hamburgh, appear to have been then unknown. 
You observe, “ the Spangled have every evidence of being 
an English Breed, &c." In this we entirely agree ; and you 
might have added—a very local breed, for they were unknown 
to the London dealers until lately. Why, then, call them 
Hamburgh? But as Pheasant fowl (called so from the 
vulgar error, both in Eugland and Ireland, that the breed 
was produced from crossing with the Pheasant (Phasiamts 
Colchicus), they were known in Ireland fifty years ago ; and 
also as Mooneys, from the crescent-shaped edgings of the 
feathers, by which appellation, Blackburn Spots, & c., they 
have been invariably called in the North of England, and 
are so still. 
If the foregoing remarks be correct, it is clear that a 
different nomenclature should he adopted, and the appella-
