again, the change in a generic name involves a change in the 

 family name, and we have to use Goldidcc in place of Bronteidcr. 



Reed 1K has shown that the Acaste of Goldfuss 17 was used by 

 Leach in 1811 for a genus of Cirripedes, and he has proposed 

 Phacopidella to take its place, with Ph. .glockeri, Barrande as 

 the type. 



Arges, Goldfuss, 18 was used by de Haan 19 in 1835 for a sub- 

 genus of Brachvura, and it has therefore been replaced by 

 Gurich 20 with Ceratarges. 



Arethusa was used by Barrande 2 ' in 1846, but it had already 

 been used in 1808 by Montfort (Conch. Syst.) for a mollusk. 

 Corda therefore proposed Aulacopleura to replace the preoccupied 

 name, 22 and this name must be used in place of Barrande's later 

 modification Arethusina. 



To the names Amphion, Harpina, and Platymetopus, the 

 writer called attention not long ago, and for them substituted 

 Pliomera, 23 Angelin, and the new names Eoharpes and Amphili- 

 chas. Pliomera was at once accepted by Reed and by Schmidt, 

 (Holm had previously called attention to the fact that this was 

 the proper course, and Wiman had used Pliomera), Amphilichas 

 has been used by Reed, and Eoharpes by Ruedemann, showing 

 that the changes are readily adopted in certain quarters, at least. 



LINCOLN'S SPARROW NESTING IN BRUCE COUNTY, 



ONTARIO. 



During the nesting season of 1912, my friend, Mr. W. D. 

 Hobson, Woodstock, was driving in the Bruce Peninsula, and 

 when near Pike Bay, about twenty miles north-west of Wiarton, 

 heard a very peculiar song. On looking up at the bird, he found 

 it to be so much like a song sparrow that he accepted it as such, 

 but on comparing notes with him as to the character of the 

 song we both feel positive that the bird was a Lincoln's Sparrow, 

 but as he was not acquainted with this species he did not recog- 

 nize it. 



The occurrence is worthy of record on account of the very 

 scanty details of this bird nesting in Ontario, and this is the first
