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.

Imp. Sci. St. Pétersb., 27, 1881, col. 167. — Ethiopia) the name for the race of
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.

mains to be learned; Prof. Neumann (in litt.) definitely states it to be the latter.
2 Rothschild, Extinct Bds., 1907, p. 166, has named Nesoenas duboisi from
Réunion. This is an entirely apocryphal species, based solely on the description
of Dubois in ‘‘ Voyages aux Iles Dauphine ou Madagascar’’; no specimens or

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.

® It has been claimed that Columba sinica Linné, Syst. Nat., ed. 10, 1, 1758,
p. 164, based entirely on the Chinese Dove of Albin, p. 43, pl. 46, is an earlier
name for this bird; in my opinion there are too many discrepancies in Albin’s
description to permit it to be used with any degree of certainty as the basis for
this or any other dove.

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.

rial may yet prove the Bermuda bird to be distinct.

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.

1 T can find no structural characters that would warrant the retention of the

have prompted its segregation originally. While the other three species of
Turtur are inhabitants of arid and semi-arid country, this appears to be a
forest inhabiting species.

1 [ have not been able to make comparison between pariae and trinitatis,
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

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.

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.

Cl., 16, 1905, p. 18 (Guadeloupe, Lesser Antilles), is based entirely on
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
of fossil and recent birds adopted for convenience, as explained in the intro-

+Ara tricolor Bechstein
Ara tricolor Bechstein, in Latham’s Allgem. Uebers. Vég., 4, Th. 1,
1811, p. 64, pl. 1. (South America, ex Levaillant, Hist. Nat. Perro-
quets, 1, p. 13, pl. 5 = Cuba.)
Formerly occurred on Cuba and the Isle of Pines. Now extinct.
1 Brabourne and Chubb, Bds. So. Am., 1912, p. 80, take Ecuador as the
type locality, but Chapman considers it most unlikely that Levaillant’s bird,
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.

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

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.

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.

the following three races: —

geographical. I list the names here without comment as to their possible

a direct synonym of cyanurus and if two races are involved it is the insular bird
that requires a name.

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.
