JAfl • ' ^Yl APPENDIX TO A LIST THE GENERA OF BIRDS. BY GEORGE ROBERT GRAY. LONDON: PRINTED AND SOLD BY RICHARD AND JOHN E. TAYLOR, RED LION COURT, FLEET STREET. 1842. Digitized by the Internet Archive in 2016 https://archive.org/details/appendixtolistofOOgray PREFACE. 5<\%.a Grl'll 184-1 0/^. The object oi* this Appendix is to complete, as far as jmssible, my List of the Genera of Birds, the purpose of wliich was to bring to- gether at one view all the genera established by different authors in this branch of study, and thus to obviate, in one division of the animal kingdom, a want that had long been felt. A more striking illustration of the necessity of such a list can hardly be given than is afforded by the complete neglect which has attended the principal work referred to in the following pages (Kaup’s Skizzirte Entwicke- lungs- Geschichte und Nat 'drlicltes System der Eiiropdischen Thier- welt)\ which, although published in 1829, has hitherto escaped the ^ notice of all systematic writers, and would not have been known to myself, but that my attention was accidentally drawn to it by the references in a list of generic names used in natural history, which M. Agassiz is about to publish. M. Kaup’s work has, it is true, some very fanciful peculiarities as regards arrangement, and he has undoubtedly carried his subdivision of genera beyond what is likely to be adopted, at least by the present generation of naturalists. But I still adhere to the rule laid down by the late Mr. Vigors, that in a work like the present all the genera of authors should be quoted ; and I have therefore given in this Appendix the whole of those pro- posed by M, Kaup, together with their types, leaving it to ornitho- logists to adopt them or not according to their individual opinions of their validity, and thus doing what in me lies to prevent the appli- cation of a new series of names to the groups referred to, in case future writers should be disposed to regard them as possessing generic importance. In a few cases M. Kaup’s names, by right of ' priority, will displace those of more recent authors, who were, I am >^\sure, as little aware as myself of his having preceded them, and who A will readily, I doubt not, admit his claims as soon as they become j acquainted with his work. IV PREFACE. Another source of additions to the original list has been furnished by Mr. Hodgson, who being apprehensive that the unclassical names which he formerly used to designate his genera should be superseded by some of those innovators who are always ready to seize on a pretext for appropriating the credit due to others, has given to the same genera a series of more classical names, with the view of guarding himself from plunder. In accordance with esta- blished practice, however, I regard the names first given, notwith- standing the anathema which has been pronounced against them by some of our lawgivers, as sacred, and have quoted the subsequent series only as their synonyma. To the Linn^ean genera I have added, in this Appendix, the date of their establishment, as far as I could ascertain it with precision. Some objections have been made to my having recurred to the generic names .used by Linnseus previously to 1760, because seven or eight names are thereby transposed from the position which they have for many years occupied. The Prince of Canino has set the example of considering the period when specific names were uni- versally applied by Linnaeus as the epoch from whence the binomi- nal nomenclature takes its date ; and I venture to regard the year 1735, when the same great man published his first list of genera, as the epoch of the real establishment of genera in their modern sense. Acting upon this principle, I cannot but go back to the names em- ployed in his earlier works, and also to the work of Moehring, not certainly drawn from the “ dusty shelves,” where it had remained forgotten for a century,” but to which repeated references have been made by others as well as m^yself. With this limitation as to date, I regard the laio of 'priority as admitting of no exceptions'^ and it has been my earnest endeavour throughout my work to adopt it to the full extent, without suffering any consideration to interfere with its application. It is only by strictly and unde- viatingly adhering to this rule that uniformity of nomenclature can be attained. APPENDIX. Page 1. Vultur^ after L. add (1756). 2.
