• "Type by monotypy." Peters 15:177.
• Type locality (Peters representation): "New Caledonia, error for Buton or Muna Island." Peters 15:177 (Amadon).
• Bonaparte gives:

*823. Streptocitta, Bp. (Pica, p. Gr. - Garrula, p. Temm.)	Oceania.	1.
		CORVUS caledonicus! Labillardière, nec Gm. (Pica al-
		bicollis, Vieill. - Garrula torquata, Wagl.) Voy. En-
		trecast. Atl. t. 39. ex Celebes.  Nigro-cyanea: collo
		undique, pectoreque late, albis.
		

• Labillardière I interpret to be
  Jacques Julien de Labillardière 1755-1834.
  A name I have not previously encounted in association with avian taxa (2002.01.01).
• The Cat. of Books in the Brit.Mus. (N.H.) lists 5 works by M. Labillardiére. The 1800 publications of regarding the Voyage of La Péouse, or his 1824-1825 Sertum Austro-Caledonicum appear the most likely. The Sertum may well relate to plants.
• Peters attributes Corvus caledonicus to Latham.
• Cat.BrdsBr.Mus. 13 p.153 (Sharpe) attributes Corvus caledonicus to Latham Suppl.Ind.Orn. 1801 [=1802].
• Therefor, it may be that Bonaparte's synonomy in this case is correct, presuming the name was published in Labillardiere's work on the voyage of La Perous.
