Leptotila Swains. has thirty-five years’ priority over Hngyptila 
Sundevall. The former name has been generally discarded as 
being preoccupied by Zeptoptilos Vieillot, 1831, on the presump- 
tion that Swainson intended to write Zef/opii/a ; but there being 
no satisfactory evidence that this was the case, Leptotila is 
accepted as a tenable name.

Professor Salvadori (I. c., p. 545, footnote) has found that the 
type of Z. albifrons Bonap. in the Paris Museum ‘is undoubtedly 
a specimen of Z. jamaicensis.’ ‘The earliest specific name for 
No. 318 of the Check-List appears therefore to be drachyptera 
Salvad. 1893 (ev GRaAy, 1856, nomen nudum), while brachyptera 
appears referable as a subspecies to ZL. /ulviventris Lawre. (Ann. 
New York Acad. Sci. II, 1882, 287).
