INTRODUCTION 


THE two orders treated in this volume have been the objects 
of special study on the part of many ornithologists during the 
past 150 years and the resulting literature is enormous. 
Among those who have contributed extensively are Kuhl 
(Parrots), Wagler (Parrots), Temminck (Pigeons), Bona- 
parte (Parrots and Pigeons), Reichenbach (Pigeons), Schlegel 
(Parrots and Pigeons), Finsch (Parrots) and Salvadori (Par- 
rots and Pigeons). The two volumes of the Catalogue of 
Birds of the British Museum by Salvadori dealing with these 
orders have long been the standard, and after frequent re- 
newed association with these volumes, I can say that in the 
care and thoroughness with which they were prepared and in 
the soundness of their writer’s views they constitute a record 
of which anyone might be proud, and stamp their author as a 
truly great ornithologist. 

In the introduction to the first volume of this series I 
briefly explained my position as regards recognition of sub- 
species. It may be well to amplify the earlier statement. A 
large number of new subspecies have been proposed in recent 
years; some of these are actual discoveries, the result of orni- 
thological exploration of regions hitherto imperfectly known; 
others, the result of the growing tendency for finer subdivision 
of already well known forms where the value of further nam- 
ing is at least questionable. In many cases it is necessary to 
accept a new form at its face value in default of material; in 
other cases if the material at my disposal does not show satis- 
factorily the characters claimed the name is placed in synon- 
ymy without prejudice. In fact in debatable cases it is far 
better to place a name as a synonym; if its validity is subse- 
quently confirmed the name is available and may be resur- 


vl INTRODUCTION 


rected; on the other hand the tacit recognition of a form of 
questionable validity gives it a false status and helps to per- 
petuate it unnecessarily. It is manifestly impossible to ex- 
amine material of every proposed subspecies; to do so would 
result in endless time spent on the least important feature of 
a Check-list such as this. 

No new names published since January 1, 1936 are in- 
cluded in this Volume, the manuscript having been com- 
pleted at the end of 1935 and. turned over for publication 
shortly thereafter. 

For the loan of material I am under obligations to the 
United States National Museum, American Museum of 
National History, Academy of Natural Sciences, Carnegie 
Museum, Field Museum of Natural History, and to Mr. H.B. 
Conover. Portions of the manuscript have been read by Dr. 
Erwin Stresemann, Prof. Oscar Neumann, Dr. Ernst Mayr, 
Mr. J. T. Zimmer and Dr. J. P. Chapin. Proofs have been 
read in whole or in part by Dr. Ernst Mayr, Mr. J. T. Zim- 
mer, Dr. Alexander Wetmore, Dr. Herbert Friedmann, Mr. 
J. H. Riley, Dr. Stresemann, Prof. Neumann, Dr. Friederich 
Steinbacher, Mr. N. B. Kinnear, Mr. Hugh Whistler, Dr. 
C. B. Ticehurst, Mr. D. A. Bannerman, Dr. W. L. Sclater 
and Mr. E. C. Stuart Baker. Specific inquiries on particular 
specimens have been answered by Mr. W. H. Behle, Mr. 
C. D. Bunker, Mr. J. H. Fleming, Dr. Joseph Grinnell and 
Dr. C. E. Hellmayr; while Dr. Jean Linsdale, Mr. H. G. K. 
Molineux, Dr. W. H. Osgood, Mr. Kinnear, Dr. Leonhard 
Stejneger and Mr. Zimmer have kindly verified certain refer- 
ences; Mr. Arthur Loveridge has been of much assistance on 
the orthography of East African place names. Mrs. Peters 
has again assisted in the proof reading and Mrs. Bowen who 
typed the manuscript of the first and second volumes also 
typed the manuscript for this one. Several pleasant evenings 
were spent at the home of my late friend Thomas E. Penard, 
checking references in rare works contained in his library. 

Once more acknowledgments are due to Dr. Thomas 


INTRODUCTION Vil 


Barbour whose continued codperation and encouragement 
has resulted in the publication of this volume. 

The balance of a grant made by Harvard University from 
the Milton Fund was used in defraying the expenses inci- 
dental to the preparation of the manuscript and of the index.

1 C. H. B. Grant (in litt.) considers Pterocles ellioti Bogdanow (Bull. Acad.

P. exustus inhabiting Eritrea, northern and central Ethiopia, British Somali- 
land, Arabia and India; if this view is correct, both erlangeri and hindustan 
must fall as synonyms. Hartert (Vég. pal. Fauna, p. 1510) considers ellzoti a 
synonym of P. e. exustus. E. C. Stuart Baker (in litt.) believes erlangeri and 
hindustan cannot be separated.

1 Bird, Ibis 1935, p. 352, provisionally identifies an adult from the Island of 
Mykonos, Cyclades, as C. l. palaestinae. 

2 Columba livia is undoubtedly the parent stock from which the common 
domestic pigeon has been derived; as such it has been carried by man all over 
the world and in many places has reverted to a wild or semi-wild state. Some 
form of this species occurs in northern China; Chinese wild killed examples 
vary from practically complete melanos to specimens difficult to distinguish 
from C. l. livia, but no Chinese bird that I have examined possesses a white 
rump. My belief is that the name Columba nigricans Buturlin should be ap- 
plied to the Rock Pigeons of northern China, though this country is outside the 
normal range of the species.

ally designated a type.

1 There can be no real doubt that Bangs (Proc. Biol. Soc. Wash., 19, 1906, 
p. 48-44) was entirely correct in disposing of the Linnean names, Columba 
macroura, Columba migratoria and Columba marginata, as he did. On the other 
hand his proposed changes have never been accepted, and since there is also 
room for argument contrary to Bangs’ reasoning, I feel that to depart from 
current usage would only cause needless confusion.

1 Replaces Chamaepelia Swainson 1827, of Sharpe’s Hand-list. For many 
years it was believed that Columbigallina Boie was preoccupied by Columbi- 
gallina Oken 1817; the latter however is a nomen nudum and hence does not 
affect Boie’s name. Swainson’s name was originally spelled Chaemepelia and 
had been unofficially altered to Chamaepelia by most authors prior to the 
appearance of Opinion 61 of the Int. Comm. Zool. Nomencl., sanctioning such 
emendation. 

2 Though currently regarded as identical with bahamensis, additional mate- 
rial may yet prove the Bermuda bird to be distinct.

2 In view of the many points of similarity between this and other members 
of the genus I cannot see my way clear to recognizing Eupelia Todd; those who 
wish to maintain that genus on its slight structural divergences must recognize 
Talpacotia Bonaparte and create a new genus for buckleyi if they wish to be 
consistent.

1 Peristera pretiosa Ferrari-Perez is a substitute name for the preoccupied 
Columba cinerea of Temminck. Perez gives no description or diagnosis of the 
single specimen he had at hand from Jalapa, Mexico, and the validity of his 
name rests entirely on the reference to pl. 260 of Temminck’s PI. col. 

2 IT cannot help but feel that an adequate series of C. mondetoura from Cen- 
tral America would tend to show that the differences on which the Central 
American forms rest are due to individual rather than to geographic variation.

2 Possibly comparison of sufficient material of northwestern with eastern

recognition of the birds from the former region as callauchen; as it is am unable 
to distinguish a specimen from Tucumdn from topotypical chalcauchenia.

but the descriptions of the two read much alike. Chapman evidently over- 
looked the description of the Trinidad bird, published two years before and 
made comparison only with birds from the mountains of Venezuela further 
west. 

2 Oreopeleia albifacies, O. chiriquensis and O. linearis would all appear to be 
representative forms and, in spite of the marked differences, could perhaps all 
be considered as subspecies of O. linearis Prév.; apparently such a course 
should not be extended to include O. bourciert.

1 The type specimen is a bird which lived in the gardens of the Zoological 
Society of London; its island of origin is not known. Salvadori believed it to be 
more like Fijian or Tongan examples. The Fiji bird was named Phlegoenas 
vitiensis by Finsch in 1872. 

2 Dr. Mayr writes me that Columba ferruginea Forster 1844 (not of Wagler 
1829), believed to have come from Tanna Island, probably never came from 
there, certainly no Gallicolumba is known from Tanna today; he considers 
it far more likely that the bird came from the Tonga Islands. The description 
fits that of Gallicolumba stairi with a few minor discrepancies.

2 Replaces Calopsittacus Lesson (recte Callopsitta) 1835 of Sharpe’s Hand- 
list, which more recently has been displaced by Leptolophus Swainson, 1833, 
for the following reasons. As constituted by Wagler the genus Nymphicus 
contained two species, Psittacus bisetis Latham and Pszttacus novaehollandiae 
Gmelin. No type was designated and neither species is so named that the 
principles of tautonymy may be invoked to determine the type. Gray, List 
Gen. Bds., 1840, p. 51 designates Psittacus novaehollandiae as type, and his 
valid designation is not subject to change (see Opinion 32 of Int. Comm. on 
Zool. Nomencl.). Since Nymphicus Wagler is of earlier date than Leptolophus 
Swainson and both genera have the same type it follows that the latter be-

comes an objective synonym of the former. In Noy. Zool., 18, 1911, p. 13 
Mathews endeavors to set aside Gray’s designation on the grounds that the 
second species in Nymphicus was autoptically unknown to Wagler. There is 
nothing in the International Code that requires specimens of an originally in- 
cluded species to be examined by the author of the genus before those species 
can be accepted for consideration for designation as the type; only such species 
are excluded from consideration as were (1) ‘‘species inquirendae from the 
standpoint of the author,” (2) ‘‘species which the author doubtfully referred 
to the genus,” and Wagler was quite definite as regards both the contained 
species. 

One of Wagler’s characters for his Nymphicus was “‘latera oris anguli lobo 
membranaceo aucta (an omnibus?).’”’ The parenthetical query is directed at 
the constancy of the character, not at the allocation of either species.

Don de Navaret, Rel. Voy. Christ. Colombe, 2, p. 425. While there is no 
actual basis to doubt the truth of Navaret’s statement concerning a Macaw, 
or something closely allied to it, on Guadeloupe, there is no particular rea- 
son for taking the description too seriously nor for supposing the bird to 
have been congeneric with Anodorhynchus. Moreover under the definition

upon which the species is founded, could have come from Ecuador in Levail- 
lant’s time and proposes to substitute northwestern Colombia. 

I concur in this thoroughly; when it becomes necessary definitely to fix a 
type locality, due consideration must be given to the probable origin of the 
specimens on which the name is based, and the arbitrary selection of an im- 
possible locality is to be avoided. 

2 Hellmayr, Abh. K. Bayer. Akad. Wiss., Kl. 2, 22, 1906, Abth. 3, p. 577, 
designates Pernambuco, Brazil as the type locality, er Marcgrave, but I cannot 
find that the species has ever been taken further east than the Rio Guamd, in 
the eastern part of the State of Para.

Note. — Macaws, in addition to A. tricolor, formerly occurred in some of 
the West Indies, but of those here listed neither skins nor osteological re- 
mains are known. The following species have been named (see also note 
under Anodorhynchus, p. 180). For descriptions and colored plates cf. 
Rothschild, Extinct Bds., 1907, p. 52-54, pl. 11-15. 

Ara gossei Rothschild, Bull. Brit. Orn. Cl., 16, 1905, p. 14. (Mountains

took his description from Robinson who bases his account on a 
‘stuffed’? specimen, supposed to have been shot about 1765.

benton’s Pl. enlum. shows a Macaw closely agreeing with Du Tertre’s 
description.

1 As long as Conurus was employed as the generic name for the paroquets

‘Malayan bird; Conurus rubrolarvatus Massena and Souancé 1854, was used as 
the first available name. The use of Aratinga in place of Conurus now permits

Venezuela as the type locality and Brabourne and Chubb, Bds. So. Am., 1912,

not agree with birds from northeastern Venezuela or Cayenne. 

2 A. p. margaritensis is very close to A. p. chrysophrys and if the former is 
recognized its range must be extended to include at least the Paria Peninsula. 
The birds recorded under the name of aeruginosus by Berlepsch and Hartert, 
Nov. Zool., 9, 1902, p. 107-108 from Ciudad Bolivar and Suapuré in eastern 
Venezuela may perhaps be referable here, while those from Altagracia, Caicara

1 Pionites Heine is a substitute name for ‘‘Caica Lesson 1831,” which how- 
ever was then employed only in the vernacular sense, ‘‘Les Caicas,” for a 
group of four species viz— Psittacus pileatus Gmelin, Psittacus vulturinus Kuhl, 
Psittacus melanocephalus Linné and Psittacus leucogaster Kuhl. Lesson did not 
use Caica in a nomenclatural sense until 1842, and when he did so it was for a 
species quite different from any of the foregoing. Bonaparte used Caica in 
1850 as the generic name of Psittacus melanocephalus Linné, but this action was 
of course invalid by reason of Caica Lesson 1842.

1 Psittacus cobaltinus Massena and Souancé 1854 is a synonym. 

2 Dr. E. Stresemann writes me as follows. — “‘The two types of Pionias 
reichenowi Heine are in the Museum Heineanum at Halberstadt, but according 
to the original description one of them equals a specimen in the Berlin Museum 
(no. 9805) collected by Sieber in ‘Brazil,’ very probably near Pard (not Peru, 
this being a typographical error in the original description). This specimen 
answers the description of reichenowi very well and differs from all other skins 
in the collection by the characters mentioned; nevertheless I feel convinced 
that it is nothing but an individual variant of P. menstruus.”

whose range is unknown, or an arrested plumage development of riedeli 
due to captivity, is unsettled. 


1 This name has priority over Psittacus pecquetit Lesson 1831 (pesquetit, 
pequeti, pescquieti etc. of authors). 

2 Replaces Eclectus Wagler 1832. For reasons for displacing Eclectus by 
Lorius see Mathews and Iredale, Austr. Av. Rec., 3, 1915, p. 45-46. Bod- 
daert’s name, originally spelled Larius, has been almost universally emended to 
Lorius on the grounds that the original spelling is a typographical error; while 
this is quite probable I am by no means convinced that ‘‘an error of transcrip- 
tion, a lapsus calami or a typographical error is evident” but that such an 
emendation should be sanctioned by an opinion of the International Commit- 
tee on Zodlogical Nomenclature. On the other hand if the original spelling 
— Larius — is retained, then Lorius Vigors 1825 remains valid and resumes its 
place as the generic name for the parrots now placed in Domicella. On the 
whole it seems best to consider Larius a typographical error for Lorius as has 
been the almost universal custom and thus avoid Larius and Lorius in the same 
family, which would cause endless confusion since the names have been shifted 
about so much.

Paris, 30, Feb., 1850, p. 135.

2 The descriptions of L. r. maforensis and L. r. biaki read as though the two 
birds might belong to the same form, but direct comparison of the two is de- 
sirable before sinking one of the names as a synonym. If the latter course 
should prove necessary, biaki has priority.

Babar Island; Tenimber Islands. 


Nore — Tanygnathus megalorynchos has been recorded from Balut 
Island, off the southern tip of Mindanao, and from the island of Semao, off 
the southwestern end of Timor. Whether these records represent unde- 
scribed races or are referable to some already named form is not known. 
In a recent review of Tanygnathus megalorynchos, Hachisuka has named 
the following three races: — 
Tanygnathus megalorhynchos obiensis Hachisuka, L’Ois. et Rev. Frang. 
d’Orn. (n.s.), 5, 1935, p. 216. (Obi Major.) 
Tanygnathus megalorhynchos batchianensis Hachisuka, L’Ois. et Rev. 
Frang. d’Orn. (n.s.), 5, 1935, p. 216. (Batjan.) 
Tanygnathus megalorhynchos fuliginosus Hachisuka, L’Ois. et Rev. 
Frang. d’Orn. (n.s.), 5, 1935, p. 217. (‘‘Sanghir,” Sangir Island.) 


The material on which his conclusions are based is not listed and the 
brief diagnoses suggest that the characters may be individual rather than 
geographical. I list the names here without comment as to their possible 
validity; lack of material prevents my reaching definite conclusions.

2 Stuart Baker, Fauna Brit. Ind., ed. 2, Birds, 4, 1927, p. 215, believes the 
bird of the Malay Peninsula to be subspecifically distinct from the form in- 
habiting Sumatra and Borneo, applying to the former the name Psittacus 
macropterus Kuhl. This race is not currently recognized by workers on the 
ornithology of southeastern Asia. Furthermore it appears that macropterus is 
a direct synonym of cyanurus and if two races are involved it is the insular bird 
that requires a name.

1 In Nov. Zool., 18, 1912, p. 273, Mathews gives Point Cloates, West Aus- 
tralia as the type locality. How this was arrived at is not stated. The same 
author in Bds. Austr., 6, 1917, p. 335, reasons that the type of xanthogenys must 
have been taken “inland from York, West Australia.” In all probability 
xanthogenys is an aberration of zcterotis in which all the feathers of the back are 
broadly bordered with red. No specimens are on record which exactly match 
the type though several are described that approach that style of coloration.

p. 21, based on an aviary specimen of unknown origin, would seem to be a 
specimen of P. z. barnardi in which the yellow color of the feathers was 
largely lacking, resulting in the reduction of the clear yellow areas in the 
plumage, the green markings turned to blue-green and the blue portions of 
the plumage intensified. (Col. pl., Avic. Mag. (4), 5, 1927, frontispiece

1 There are no structural characters of importance that justify the existence 
of the genus Barnardius; those who admit it do so only on the basis of color. 
In my opinion all the forms hitherto placed in Barnardius should be regarded 
as members of a single species.
