The Wilson llru.Exix — No. 68 



ture Aqitila chrysactos (Linn.) Golden Eagle, to Folco fithus 

 Linn. Ring-tail Eagle, which is- a synonym of the former. 

 Jn his index of the land liirds. pnblished in the preface of 

 X'olnme \ I, anfl covering the first seven volumes, Falco iiigcr 

 is recognized as a variety of F. lagopits {=^ArcJiihutco lagopiis 

 saiu'ti-johaiinis ( Gmel.) American Rough-legged Hawk) ; 

 also Lo.via rosea A\'ils. corrected to Loxia ( Zaniclodia) Uidivi- 

 caiia Linn. Rose-breasted Grosbeak. 



It is also to be observed that W'ilson repeatedly bestowed 

 upon two separate species, knowing them to be distinct, the 

 same title ; liut this occurred during the last two or three years 

 of his life when he was nearly engulfed in work, worry and 

 ill health. Had he lived, he would undoubtedly have cor- 

 rected many of his errors in the final index. Ord"s attempts 

 in this direction in a later "reprint" became confused with 

 the original edition and caused some trouble later on. Cliar- 

 adrius hiaficiiJa and Triii'^a hiaticida are undoubtedly hom- 

 onyms, not only because they apply to distinct species of the 

 same genus, but from the fact that both Bonaparte and ( )rd 

 agree in the belief that Triitga was a typographical error.
