1. On the Garruline Birds, or Jays; with Descriptions 
of NEW species. By Charles Lucien, Prince Bona¬ 
parte. 
(Aves, PI. XVII.) 
Haying elevated the Garruline Crows to the rank of a full family, 
the fifty-third of my Natural Classification ot Birds, I now consider 
the family Garndidce , (including, besides the Crypsirhinince, Bari- 
tivKBj and the Jays, also the Hopping Magpies, notwithstanding their 
stronger bill and closer relation to the Corvidce,) as formed of five 
different groups (subfamilies or great genera as you may call them, 
according to your notions, and you admit or not subgenera). And I 
say five, although I do not separate the Magpies from the Jays, hut 
consider them as Garruline , because to the three old subfamilies, 
Baritime, Crypsirhinince and Garrulince , I now add a fourth ( Garru- 
laxime), for the reception of a good many birds hitherto scattered in 
diffeient families, 'whose affinity to the Jays, taken for mere analogy, 
is now clear and manifest to my eye. Garrulax, Actinodura, Oriolia\ 
Turnagra, or rather O tag on, distinct from the much more Garruline 
Keropia, with those Kittle which are not Coraciince , are all members 
of this my new group, to which (however enlarged) cannot be well 
united a fifth, Ptilorhynchince, including the genera Chlamydera and 
Ptilorhynchus, which in Sturnidce were out of their place. But the 
object of the present paper is merely the enumeration of the genera 
and species of my Garruline subfamily. 
The first that we meet, ending the Garrulaxince with Keropia, 
which may as well be the first of Garrulinee, is the genus Platytophus, 
Sw., judiciously changed by G. B. Gray, 1840, into Lophocitta, hitherto 
composed of but one species from Java, to which I now add a second 
from Sumatra, introducing to you the bird called Garrulus histrioni- 
cus by Solomon Muller, struck in the native woods where he dis¬ 
covered it by its mimic gestures, whilst the skins he sent to the Lev- 
den Museum suggested the name of Garrulus rufulus, Temminck, 
than which theie can be no better tor closet-naturalists. I introduce 
it thus in the Systerna Nature. 
Lophocitta histrionica, Bp. Minor: fusco-ferruginea; collari 
nigro ; macula utrinque colli magnd, supraoculari part'd, alba. 
Synonyms. 
Garrulus histrionicus, Mull. 
Garrula rufula, Temm. Fig. nulla. 
Hab. Sumatra; Borneo. 
The old species will stand as follows: 
Lophocitta GALERicuLATA, Gr. Major : nigra; collari nullo; 
macula utrinque colli magnd, supraoculari part'd, albd. 
Synonyms. 
Corvus galericulatus. Cur. 
Lanius scapulatus, Licht.
