VOL. ix.J ADDITIONS AND CORRECTIONS. 9 



the same stage of plumage are compared ; this is especially 

 noticeable in the summer plumage. It is therefore correct 

 to consider Nos. 378 and 379 as species, and their names 

 should be altered as above. Mr. Mathews also says that 

 the correct name of Erolia macuJata should be E. pectoralis 

 because Tringa maculata of Vieillot had been anticipated 

 by Linnaeus's Tringa maculata of 1766 ; this, however, is 

 a sli^D, as Linne called his bird Tringa macidaria, and not 

 macvlafa. 



385. Limicola falcinellus falcinellus (Pontoppidan) 



ScoLOPAx Falcinellus Pontoppidan, Danske Atlas, I., p. G2I?, 

 and figure on pi. XXVI. (1763 — Denmark). 



instead of Limicola p. platyrhyncha (Temm.). Mr. G. M. 

 Mathews has shown (Aiistr. Av. Rec, I., 1912, pp. 31-2) 

 that the Broad-billed Sandpiper was named by Pontoppidan 

 and this antedates Temminck's platyrhyncha of 1815. The 

 quotation, however, is as above, not " Naturhist. Dannemark, 

 p. 170, 1763," as Mr. Mathews quoted. The Dariske Atlas I., 

 apjjeared in 1763, while the Kurzgef. Nachr. die Naturhistorie 

 in Daniiemark hetr. was a translation of the Natural History 

 part of the Danske Atlas, and appeared in 1765.* Mr. 

 Mathews (I.e.) also pointed out that Briinnich, in 1764, gave 

 an excellent description of the Broad-billed Sandpiper, with 

 the quotation of Pontoppidan, 1763.

390. Tringa ochropus L. 



instead of T. ocrophus (L.). It is true that Linnseus quoted 

 " Ocrophus sive Bhodophus " of Gesner, Aldrovandus, and 

 others, but in these works the name is spelt ochropus. We 

 might, therefore, accept that Linne wrote ocrophus as a 

 lapsus calami for ochropus. 



421. Sterna albifrons albifrons Pallas 



Sterna albifrons Pallas, Vroeg's Cat. Verzam. Vogelen, etc., 

 Aduinbratiimcula?, p. 6 (1764 — Europe). 



instead of Sterna m. minuta. Mr. G. M. Mathews has pointed 

 out [Birds Austr., II., p. 377) that this name has priority 

 over mimita of Linneaus 1766. In reply to the same author's 



* We find that Mr. Mathews has already made this correction 

 (see Austral Av. Rec, I., p. 84).
