There need be no sentiment with regard to tlie rejei^tion of Accipiter. Brisson 

 introdnced two genera tor tiie Falconidae, \\z. Arju/la iind Accipiter, whilst Liune 

 classed all under Falco. Inasmuch as Brisson did not recognize LinnS's genus, his 

 names cannot be accepted as constituting a subdivision of the Linneau geuiis. The 

 first use I have traced of Acei/jifer in binomial nomenclature is that of S. G. 

 Gmelin in the Xov. Comm. Acad. Petrop. vol. xv. p. 430, 1771, when three 

 species are named, none of which are referable to Accipiter (auct.). The first 

 disintegration of tiie Linnean Falco was made by Lac^pede, who divided it into 

 seven genera — Aquila, Asfur, J\7««.v, Bnteo, Circus, Milrus, and Falco: these genera 

 had previously been many times indicated as sections bnt no sectional names 

 correctly introduced. The researches of Mr. C. Davies Sherborn have proved the 

 valid introduction of these names in 1790, and as species were added almost 

 immediately {Natural Science, }>. 4o6, 1809), there can be no disputing the 

 accejitability of Lacepede's divisions. Circus and Axtur are already commonly 

 recognized as of Lacepede, as noted in my Handlist, p. 30, Genera CLVI. and 

 CLVII. 



Tage 44 : Genus CLXXV. T/to Billberg, Sijn. Faunae Scund. i. tab. A (1828) 

 replaces iStrix (auctorum, non Linne 1758 I) 



In the Amer. 0. U. Check List, 3rd Ed. 1910, Aluco Fleming, 1822, is chosen 

 to replace the name Strix now generally in use for the Barn Owls. That name, 

 however, is preoccupied by Link, Besch. Natarl. Samml. p. 130 (1807), for a genus 

 of Molluscs I The ne.Kt name in order appears to be Ti/to of Billberg as given 

 above. Billberg, iu 1820, had previously proposed Ti/ta for a genus of Insects, 

 so that some may consider the name Ti/to preoccupied. In that case Ihjbris 

 Nitzsch (Sijat. Pteryl. p. 100, 1840) would have a claim.
