399. Ululu, Cuvier, Reg. An. i. 1817, 329 (type, Strix uralensis, Pall.). 
In History of North American Birds (vol. iii, pp. 28-80) I adopted for the Great Gray 
Owl (Stria cinerea, Gmel.) the subgeneric name Scotiaptex, Swains., based upon this species, 
and on p. 8 of these Proceedings raised the same name to generic rank. A subsequent exam- 
ination of Strix urdlensis, Pallas, however, reveals the fact that the latter is strictly con- 
generic with S. cinerea and S. lapponica, and having been made the type of a genus Ulula 
by Cuvier, in 1817, the latter name must take precedence over Scotiaptex, which was not 
founded antil 1831.
