It is true that llliger uuited in bis genus Actitis both Limosa, Totanus, 

 Tringa, Pavoncella, and the bird of the present genus, but there is no 

 more reason for dropping his name altogether than for disregarding 

 Linnseus's Tringa, and there are no more reasons for quoting ^'■Achtis 

 Boie nee Illiger" than for ''Tringa Baird nee Lin." llliger (Prod, 

 p. 2G2) enumerates as species of his genus Actitis: " Scolopax Limosa, 

 Totanus, Tringa pugnax, Hypoleucos im." Of these the two first had 

 already, by earlier writers, been separated as types of Limosa and To- 

 tanus, leaving in 1811 Tringa pvgnax and hypolencos the occupants of 

 the restricted genus Actitis. In 181G, Leach established the genus 

 Pavoncella for the former of these two species, so that hypoleucos, by 

 elimination, has become the only type of Actitis Illig., to the exclusion 

 of Tringoides Bonap., 1831,* which is a pure synonym of Actitis.
