Summary. Total, 215 species, of which 52 are undetermined 

 in the foregoing commentary. Of the 163 recognized species, 

 many are here given new specific names, the binomial ones of 

 which are to be adopted if found to have priority, otherwise to be 

 entered among current quotations of synonyms. Of the many 

 new binomial and identified names, 20 are believed to have pri- 

 ority. Of these 20, 5 are already in general employ, on Bartram's 

 authority ; namel} r , Nos. 9, 24, 28, 30, 74 ; and 5 others are in 

 general employ, but attributed to Wilson or Audubon; namely, 

 Nos. 43, 87, 95, 104, 190. This leaves 10 new, identified, binomial 

 names, believed to have priority, and consequentlj 7 available for 

 use, to supersede later names now in current usage, namely, Nos. 

 21, 22, 25, 26, 42, 94, 96, 103, 138, 149. Attention is called to the 

 whole of these 20 names, printed in large capitals in the foregoing 

 commentary but particularly to the 10 last enumerated ; like- 

 wise, to Lucar.
