● "657. Coucou verd doré a blanc, BUFF. XII. p. 42. BRISS. Ornith. o. Cuculus caprius mihi LINN. Gen . . . . o" (Boddaert 1783); "Recent authors have not adopted Mathews finding that the names of C. caprius Boddaert and C. cupreus Latham are identical, the former having been printed caprius in error; but I must admit, after studying Boddaert's paper, that I am of Mathew's opinion, this paper abounding in misprints, and the adoption of this reading obviates possible confusion of two very distinct species." (A. Roberts 1922) (Chrysococcyx).
