36S Fourteenth Supplement to the A. O. U. Check-List. Auk 
July 
Nos. 258 and 258a thus become 
258.  Catoptrophorus semipalmatus (GMELIN). 
25S8a. Catoptrophorus semipalmatus inornatus (BREWSTER). 
264. Numenius longirostris Witson. An earlier name occurs in 
264. Numenius americanus BEcHSTEIN. 
Numenius americanus BrEcHsTEIN, in LatHam, Allg. Ueb. 
Vogel, IV, ii, 1812, 432. (Ricamonp, MS.) 
283.1. Arenaria morinella (LinN&us). This becomes a sub- 
species of No. 283, and will stand as 
283a. Arenaria interpres morinella (LINN EUs). 
The Ruddy Turnstone is found to intergrade with A. interpres, 
and the above change becomes necessary. (C7. Bisnor, Auk, 
XXIII, 1906, 335.) 
316. Zenaidura macroura (LINN-©vs). ‘This becomes 
316. Zenaidura macroura carolinensis (LINN avs). 
Columba carolinensis LINN-EUS, Syst. Nat., ed. 12, I, 1766, 286. 
Linneus appears to have based the name Colwmba macroura on 
Edwards’s plate 15, and not on Catesby. On this assumption 
Zenaidura macroura becomes the name of the West Indian bird, 
while that for the continental form is as given above. (C7. also, 
Banas, Proce. Biol. Soe. Wash., XTX, 1906, 44.) 
319. Melopelia leucoptera (LiNN-©us). ‘This is changed to 
319. Melopelia asiatica (LINN Us). 
Columba asiatica LINN-EUS, Syst. Nat., ed. 10, I, 1758, 163. 
The name asiatica has anteriority over leucoptera, and should be 
substituted for it, both names having exactly the same foundation. 
(Ricumonp, Ms).
