Akad. der Wissensch. 1812–13 (1816) 242; see further note at sense 2.

1656 T. Blount Glossographia Oscines are these kind of birds, by whose chirping, feeding, noise or voyces the Augures foretold things to come; as the Crow, Pie, Chough.

1891 H. Nettleship & J. E. Sandys Seyffert's Dict. Classical Antiq. 86/2 The birds were distinguished as alites and oscines... The oscines were birds which gave signs by their cry as well as their flight, such as ravens, owls, and crows.

1921 L. B. Paton Spiritism & Cult of Dead iii. 95 Birds were divided into the classes of the ‘singers’, oscines, which included the owl, the crow, and the raven; and the ‘flyers’, prœpetes, which included the larger birds of prey.

2. Ornithology. (With capital initial and plural agreement). An extensive division of birds (the songbirds) containing those families of advanced passerine birds which have the muscles of the syrinx attached to the extremities of the bronchial semi-rings.In modern classifications Oscines is a suborder which together with the smaller suborder Deutero-Oscines (the suboscine passerines) constitute the order Passeriformes. The name Oscines was used in different ways by various 19th-cent. ornithologists. Pallas (see quot. 1853) appears to have included in the Oscines a number of non-passerine groups.
