applied to many little English birds. In Australia,

this new compound has been adopted for the two species,

Short-billed Tree-tit, Smicrornis brevirostris,

<hw>Tremandra</hw>, n. scientific name of a genus of

Australian plants, the Purple Heath-flower. Name given

by R. Brown in 1814, from the remarkably tremulous anthers.

(Lat. tremere, to tremble, and Grk. 'anaer,

'andros a man, taken as equivalent to "anther.")

<hw>Trevally</hw>, or <hw>Trevalli</hw>, or <hw>Trevalla</hw>,

In various localities the name is applied to several fishes,

which are most of them of the family Carangidae,

or Horse-Mackerels. An Old-World name for the

Horse-Mackerels is Cavalli (Ital. cavallo,

a little horse). Trevalli is sometimes called

Cavalli; this was probably its original name

in Australia, and Trevalli a later corruption.
