GENUS FREGATA Brisson. Authority changed to 
GENUS FREGATA LAcEPEDE. 
Fregata LactrkprE, Tabl. Ois., 1799, 15. Type, Pelecanus 
aquilus LINN EUS. 
Fregata proves not to have been used in a generic sense by 
Brisson. (Cf. Stone, Auk, XXIV, 1907, 195; Aten, Bull. Am. 
Mus. N. H., XXIII, 1907, 301; XXIV, 1908, 18.) 
GENUS MERGANSER Brisson. ‘This becomes 
GENUS MERGUS LINN -2Us. 
Mergus Linnzus, Syst. Nat., ed. 10, 1, 1758, 129. Type, 
Mergus merganser Linnaeus. (Cf. ALLEN, Bull. Am. 
Mus. N. H., XXIV, 1908, 36.) 
Nos. 129 and 130 will therefore stand as 
129. Mergus americanus CAssINn. 
130. Mergus serrator LINN-©Uus. 
GENUS MERGUS Linn-rus, for No. [131.1], becomes 
GENUS MERGELLUS SE Lpy. 
Mergellus Skupy, Cat. Gen. and Subgen. Types of Birds, 
1840, 47. Type, Mergus albellus Linnxus. (C}. ALLEN, 
Bull. Am. Mus. N. H., XXIV, 1908, 20.) 
a 
This necessitates a change of name in No. [131.1] to 
[131.1] Mergellus albellus (LINN £Us). 
132. Anas boschas Linnxus. This becomes, by reason of an- 
teriority, 
132. Anas platyrhynchos LINN “us. 
Anas platyrhynchos LiNN.xus, Syst. Nat., ed. 10, I, 1758, 125. 
(C}. LONNBERG, Journ. f. Orn., 1906, 528.)
