quorum Temminck 1820, and Ave must in consequence use 

 the latter name for the Flamingo. 



The West Indian and the European Flammgos can only 

 be treated as subspecies, as the}^ agree in all essential characters 

 and differ only in degree of coloration. Therefore the 

 trinomial as above. 



276. Anser erythropus (L.) 



instead of Anser fiiimarchicus Gumier. In the Hand-List 

 erythropus was rejected because it could not be decided 

 to which species of White-fronted Goose it referred. Prof. E. 

 Lonnberg has since {Ibis, 1913, pp. 400-2) brought forward 

 evidence from Linnean manuscripts to show that the bird 

 described by Linnaeus under this name was the White - 

 fronted Goose which breeds in northern Sweden, i.e. the Lesser 

 White-fronted Goose. 



284. It is very doubtful if the Pale-breasted Brent Goose 

 is really different from B. bernicla bernida, as in the Old 

 World both dark and pale-breasted Brents nest together, 

 and appear to be merely individual varieties. In no case 

 can the name glaucogastra be used for the /?a?e -breasted 

 form, as under this name Brehm described the dark-heWied 

 form ! 



296, Anas acuta L. 



instead of DafUa acuta (L.). It is not possible to uphold 

 the genus Dafila. 



297. Netta rufina (Pall.) 



instead of Nyroca rufina (Pall.). The Red-crested Pochard 

 should be separated generically. 



302. Bucephala clangula clangula (L.). 



303. Bucephala albeola (L.) 



instead of Nyroca c. clangula (L.) and Nyroca albeola (L.). 

 The Goldeneyes differ too strikingly from true Nyroca and 

 must therefore be separated generically. The oldest name 

 of the genus is Bucephala rejected by some because of the 

 prior Bucephalus, but valid according to the Rules of 

 Xomenclature. 



324. Puffinus assimilis godmani Allen 



instead of Puffinus obscurus godmani Allen. See Brit. B., 

 VIII., p. 283.
