MACHETES Cuv. 1817, 



must give place to the oue year older Pavoncella Leach, Oat. M. B. Brit. 

 Mus. (181G), which is uot, so far as I can detect, preoccupied. Then 

 Pavoncella p ugnajc ( Lin. ) . 



TADOE^N^A CORNUTA (Gmel.) 



is not the oldest name given to that species. It is recognizably described 

 as Anas damiatica in Hasselquist's Palest. Eeise, Deutsche Ausgabe 

 (1762), p. 318, and should therefore stand as Tadorna damiatica (Has- 

 SELQU.), 1762. 



HARELDA GLACIALIS (Lin.), 1766, 



should be changed into Harelda hyemalis (Lin.), 1758, the name Anas 



glacialis not being found in his lOth edition. The three earliest names 



of this species are : 



1758. — Anas hyemalis LiNX., Syst. Nat. ed. 10, I, p. 126 (nee Pall). 



17(U.— Anas kiemalis Brunn., Ornith. bor. p. 17. 



1766. — Anas glacialis Linx., Syst. Nat. ed. 12, I., p. 203. 



POLYSTICTA Eyt. 1836, 



is preoccupied by Polysticte Smith, 1835. The next name in date is 



Stdlaria Bp. 1838, which is preoccupied in botany. The name given 



by Gray in 1840 is uot occupied, and the genus sbould therefore in the 



future bear the name 



Eniconetta Gray.
