In the above list 3 species are not fully determined — their 

 identity is discussed later. We do not tliink that mucli dubiety 

 attaches to the Nirmus of Charadrius hiaticula which can hardly be 

 more than a variety of hoephilus Kellogg. But we have mean while 

 given expression to the shade of hesitation we feel. The uncertain 

 Liotheids are on a different Iboting. One might easily suggest names 

 were it not for the suspicion that in both cases these names cover 

 more than one form. 



It is presently often difficult to know what precisely is intended 

 by a name in a list of M a 1 1 o p h a g a. Thus for example we have 

 recently seen ^'■Nirmus ohscurus Denny" recorded, without remark. 

 It is safe to say that (without actual reference to the type) ^'Nir- 

 mus ohscurus Denny" is purely of private interpretation, For this 

 reason we have attempted to indicate what we have had before us 

 in cases where doubt might arise.
