5014. Sturnella magna neglecta vs. Sturnella ludoviciana ( (a 
Banos, Proc. N. Engl. Zoél. Club, I, 1899, 20). 
The description by Brisson, on which Sturnus ludoviciana Linn. 
vs based, does not satisfactorily apply to .S. m. neglecta, aside from 
the improbability of Brisson having specimens at that early date 
collected within the range of neglecta. ‘Che attempt to revive 
the name from Swainson is contrary to current usage in similar 
cases. 
Quiscalus ViEmLL. (1816) vs. Scaphidura Swatns. (1827). 
(Cf. Ripeway, Proc. Wash. Acad. Sci. III, TOO, 1 smn)y 
Scaphidurus was proposed as a substitute for Ouiscalus, which 
was erroneously supposed to be preoccupied in botany, and is 
consequently a pure synonym of Quéscalus. Scaphidurus as 
reinstated by Ridgway (/. ¢.) =Megaquiscalus Cassin. 
019. Carpodacus mexicanus frontalis vs. C. m. obscurus 
(7. OBERHOLSER, Auk, XVI, 1899, 186). 
As fringilla frontalis Vieillot, 184 7, 1s simply the reference of 
Loxia frontalis Lath. to the genus /ringi//a, and not a new name, 
tringilla frontalis Say, 1824, is obviously not invalidated. 
534a. Passerina nivalis townsendi vs. Passerina townsendi 
(¢f. W. Patmer, Fur Seals and Fur Seal Islands N. Pac. 
(Ofera li Gt 1899, 423; GRINNELL, Condor, IIT, I9OI, 20.) 
The proposed change is not deemed necessary, 
719.1. Thryomanes leucophrys vs. Ziryomanes bewichit leu- 
cophrys (cf. OBERHOLSER, Proc. U.S. Nat. Mus. XXI, 1898, 
443-) 
The reasons given for the proposed change are not considered 
satisfactory, 
7256. Cistothorus palustris griseus Brewster vs. Cisto- 
thorus griseus (cf. WAYNE, Auk, XVI, Oct. 1899, 362). 
The proposed change is deemed inadvisable at present.
