is a comparatively rare variety and there can be little doubt that 
confusa is the ancestral form, and that systematically speaking 
this form should be the type. In cases of this kind it would, I 
think, be a great advantage if there were some agreement amongst 
naturalists by which the commonest form of a variable species 
might be allowed to take the place of the type in spite of its later 
discovery.
