 Although Brisson coined Latin names, these do not conform to the binomial system and are not recognised by the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature.When in 1766 the Swedish naturalist Carl Linnaeus updated his "Systema Naturae" for the twelfth edition he added 240 species that had been previously described by Brisson in his "Ornithologie".One of these was the yellow-faced grassquit.
