I. CHANGES IN NAMES. 



(A) Species which have been divided into several Sub- 

 species AND which now APPEAR AS TRINOMIALS 

 INSTEAD OF BiNOMIALS. 



(a) Where the original specific name applies to the North Ameiican race and 

 that name is simply repeated as Gavia immer, which now becomes Gavia 

 immer immer. In all such cases other laces, eithei' Noith Ameiican or extra- 

 limital, have been described which while they retain the same specific name 

 have a diffei'ent subspecific name as Gavia immer elasson and the doubling of 

 the specific name has been necessary to distinguish the older race. There are 

 102 cases of this sort. 



(b) Where the original specific name applies to an extra-limital race so 

 that the North American form (or forms) has to have a different subspecific 

 name appended, as Puffinus assimilis which now becomes Puffinus assimilis 

 barolii due to the division of the species into several subspecies and the fact 

 that the name P. assimilis assimilis belongs to an Australian form, our bird 

 being distinguished as P. a. barolii. Changes of this sort are as follows: 



Puffinus assimilis 

 Pelagodroma marina 

 Phaethon rubricatus 



becomes P. a. barolii 

 " P. in. hypoleuca 

 " P. r. rolhschildi
