(C) Names that have been radically changed. 



Puffinus has been divided and P. cuneata and bidleri are referred to Tliyello- 

 droma. (p. 10) * 



Priofinus Hombron & Jacquinot, 1844, becomes Adamastor Bonaparte, 1856. 

 The type of the former proves to be Procellaria cinerca Forster not P. 

 dnerea Gmelin, a different bird, so that it does not apply to this genus, 

 the earliest available name for which is Adamastor. (Cf. Bonaparte, 

 Comptes Rendus, 1856, XLIII, 594.) (p. 10) 



Aestrelata Bonaparte, 1856, Ijeeonies Plerodroma Bonaparte, 1856. 



The latter has page priority, the former being erroneously supposed to 

 date from 1855. (Cf. Mathews, Birds Austral, II, 1912, 131.) (p. 11) 



Thalassidroma Vigors, 1825, becomes Hydrobafes Boie, 1822. 



The latter is considered not invalidated Ijy Hydrobata Vieillot, and has 

 piiority. (Cf. Hartert, Hand-List Brit. Birds, 1912, 149.) (p. 15) 



Fregetta grallaria (Vieillot), 1817, becomes Frcgetta tropica tropica (Gould), 

 1844. 

 Our bird is apparently F. tropica and not Cymodroma grallaria. (p. 16) 



Phacthon americanus Grant, 1897, becomes P. Upturns catesbyi Brandt, 1838. 

 Brandt's name catesbyi has many years priority for this bird which is now 

 regarded as a subspecies of P. lepturus Daudin, of the Indian Ocean. (Cf . 

 Mathews, Auk, XXXII, 1915, 195.) (p. 18) 



* These heavy-face numbers refer to the pages of the present work upon 

 which the accepted names will be found.
