Remark. — The distinctness of this Swan from the com- 

 mon Hooper or Wild Swan was first determined by Mr. 

 R. R. Wingate, and pointed out by him to the Members 

 of the Natural History Society, Oct. 20th, 1829. After- 

 wards, Feb. 16th, 1830, Mr. Wingate's discovery was more 

 fully elucidated in a paper read to the same Society, Feb. 

 16th, 1830, by P. G. Selby, Esq., and the name Cygnus 

 Bewickii of Wingate, given to it. (See Transactions of the 

 Natural History Society of Northumberland, Durham, and 

 Newcastle-upon-Tyne, vol. I., pp. 1 and 17-25, 1831). If, 

 therefore, Pallas' name minor be set aside, the above authors 

 have right of priority. See type specimen in Case 63. Ed.
