 to have come from the Straits of Magellan, but which proved to be referable to X. saxatilis, 

 an African species, the locality being erroneous.

1837.— Bachman, Ibid., p. 403. His X. virginianus changed to X. amerieanus, and the name X. sylvaticus 

 bestowed upon the L. amerieanus of his former paper. Here the X. sylvaticus receives its 

 first distinctive name, it having previously borne the name X. amerieanus (the name given it 

 by Desmarest), whenever distinguished from the true X. anuricanus, with which it was for 

 a long time confounded.
