not yet seen should be very interesting.

pref. April 9th, 1820. 
Included in this is his famous Monograph of Petrels, the first one attempted, 
and in which is included Banks and Solander’s MS. names, as he consulted the 
Banksian MS. in London, and also referred to the Forster paintings, Forster’s MS. 
being in Berlin. From the Monograph I quote Procellaria oceanica , turtur, velox, 
Nectris . 
He also described the Satin Bower-Bird, which he named P. holosericeus , and cited 
Gorvus squamulosus Hliger as a synonym. Vigors and Horsfield had apparently never 
seen this, and simply wrote foolishly when they used Kuhl’s generic name and said he 
hadn’t given a specific one.

The first and very reliable Monograph of Parrots, which is the basis of all later ones 
and proves Kuhl’s brilliancy and the loss Ornithology suffered at his untimely death. 
New names are Probosciger , Psittacus chlorolepidotus, P. leachii (col. pi.), P. temminkii, 
P. phmiicocephahis, P. tenuirostris , P. eos, P. scapulatus , P. brownii, P. icterotis

P. erythronotus (not Austr.), P. auriceps (not Austr.), P. ultramarinus (not Austr.) 
and P. goliath. 
An interesting feature of this essay is that Kuhl met Temminck when in London 
working up this subject and they worked amicably together, as instance “ P. icterotis 
Temminck and Kuhl.” Then Temminck published some of the new species they found 
in the Collection of the Linnean Society from Australia in the Transactions of the 
Society, but the issue of these Transactions was delayed, and the names did not come out 
until after Kuhl’s essay appeared. This would not have mattered had it not happened 
that some of the chosen names had been transferred. This was noted at the time, 
and it was stated that although Temminck’s names were published posteriorly they 
should be preferred because Temminck was the better known ornithologist. This 
malpractice continued until quite recently, when I rectified it. A better argument 
would have been the acceptance of Kuhl’s names, as he was engaged in a monographic 
study while Temminck was not. Another item of interest is Kuhl’s usage of names 
given by Robert Brown, whose ornithological interest has been also denied until very 
recently.
