 The relegation of some of these names which have been in more or 

 less common use, to synonymy requires some little explanation. 



Ortygometra Leach, is simply a synonym of Crex though it has 

 been used wrongly for species belonging elsewhere. 



Zapornia, Cotnrnicops, Phalaridion and Rcdlites, are all synonyms 

 of Porzann, the first two being well marked sub-genera. 



* The above list does not include a number of generic names proposed by 

 Heine in 1893 (Noraend. Mus. Hein.) for well known genera of Bonaparte and 

 other authors which had been in use for many years. These names would, of course, 

 only find a place in the synonomy and it seems scarcely worth while to take any 

 notice of them, such a Wholesale introduction of new names being a most un- 

 warrantable proceeding. One of Heine's names, however, Sarothrura.^ will 

 have to stand as the name Corelhruva, for which it was proposed as a substitute, 

 is preoccupied.
