    By the way... ερημια is desert but perhaps the word is associative enough to also denote hermit, desolate, and similar. Stoneham doesn't give any etymology, I'm afraid. He does mention in the introduction that the dry season is long (Bombo). Stoneham, 1926 Field Notes on a Collection of Birds...

    See also this entry in Hellmayr's catalogue of the Americas; apparently Hellmayr read that reference as Cassicus chrysonotus Lafresnaye and d'Orbigny (and not as a genus): v.13:pt.10 (1937) - Catalogue of birds of the Americas and the adjacent islands in Field Museum of Natural History -...

    Hi James, I see you've now processed all those Hellmayr name lists, thank you. And yes, Porphyria and porphyria should both end in -o. I fixed them now but I'm afraid the manuscript still has quite a few OCR errors although it's now much better than the original that I downloaded. There are...

    Cory / Hellmayr, Catalogue of birds of the Americas - volumes 9, 5, 3, 1. These 'name words' are all absent from The Key but, again, they're mostly typos/variants (Cory seems to have been especially careless) but I think there might be a few new entries as well. nr | genus | page |...

    I realize that most words are not particularly interesting - it's often not even clear where the typo/error/variation occurred (could be by the original author or by the compiler) when there is no 'sic' in the record. But I prefer to not change the list and leave it to you to discard the all too...

    Only now do I see that 'lawrentii' was an OCR error that I should have edited/removed. Sorry about that. I do check the lists before I send them but digital lapsus can occur too, it seems.

    Well, I am glad that I can use your database (to wit, the KEY) as a spelling checker. I'd only find a fraction of the OCR errors without it. :)
