he ocr Thirteenth Supplement to the A. O. U. Check-List. 421 
1902, 105). A trinomial appears best to express the status 
of this form, although actual intergradation is difficult to 
prove. Nochange is deemed desirable at this time. 
425. Aéronautes melanoleucus vs. 4. sawxatilis (cf COUES, 
Key, 1903, 557): 
The name saxati/is was originally rejected on account of insuffi- 
ciency of description; no change appears to be necessary. 
Myiarchus crinitus residuus Hower, Contr. Amer. Orn., I, 
r902, 30.\' (C7. NELSON, Proc. Biol: Soc. Wash., XVII, 20; 
March 10, 1994.) 
Rejected, as being too close to MW. crinitus. 
Subgenus Hmpidias CABANIS (cf COUES, Key, 1903, 522 
Not considered worthy of recognition. 
456. Sayornis phoebe (LarHam) vs. Empidias phoebe (g. 
CouEs, Key, 1903, 525). No change is required. 
Subgenus Aitrephanes Cours (cf. CouEs, Key, 1903, 532). 
Mitrephanes was originally applied to a group of extra-limital 
species, and Nos. 470 and 470a of the Check-List have 
been erroneously referred to it. 
491. Nucifraga columbiana (Witson) vs. Licicorvus colum- 
bianus (cf. COUES, Key, 1903, 490). This case was decided 
at a former meeting of the Committee, and no further action 
is considered necessary. 
SUBFAMILIES Sturnelline, Ageleine, Icterine, and Quiscaline (cf. 
Cougs, Key, 1903, 464). These proposed subfamilies of the 
Icteridz adopted in the ‘ Key,’ seem distinct enough when 
North American members of the family alone are considered, 
but they merge into each other through the many intermedi- 
ate links in tropical America.
