390 Fourteenth Supplement to the A. O. U. Check-List. july 
Oceanodroma beldingi Emerson, Condor, VIII, 1906, 54. This 
and the preceding appear to be indistinguishable from O. lewcorhoa. 
Oceanodroma monorhis chapmanit Brruerscn, Auk, XXIII, 
1906, 185. ‘This proves to be a phase of plumage of O. socorroensis. 
Dilophaheus (cf. Cours, Key, 5th ed., 1903, 962). Not ad- 
mitted, the proposed subgenus being based on insufficient characters. 
Viguacarbo (cf. Cours, Key, 5th ed., 1903, 963). The characters 
of this proposed subgenus are not deemed sufficient for recognition 
in the List. 
127. Pelecanus californicus vs. P. juscus [= occidentalis] cali- 
fornicus (cf. Rrpaway, Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., XIX, 1897, 
593: Hartrert, Nov. Zool., VI, 1899, 176; Twelfth Supple- 
ment, Auk, 1903, 363). 
A change in status is considered unnecessary. 
Merganser vs. Serrator (c]. STONE, Auk, 1907, 194). No change 
required, (See under ‘Changes in Nomenclature,’ antea, p. 360.) 
160. Somateria dresseri vs. S. mollissima dresseri (cf. HARTERT, 
Bull. Brit. Orn. Club, XV, 1904, 44). The change is deemed 
unnecessary at present. 
Melanitta vs. Phawonetta (c]. Sronr, Auk, 1907, 198). Proposed 
change based on the “first species” rule. 
Exanthemops vs. full genus (c/. Twelfth Supplement, Auk, 1903, 
368). Elevation to generic rank not considered desirable. 
171.2. Anser brachyrhynchus vs. Welanonyx brachyrhynchus, and 
[171.1.] Anser fabalis vs. Melanonyx segetum (c]. Bururuin, 
Wild Geese Russian Empire, 1901, 22; Satvaport, Ibis, 
1905, 530). Melanonyx is not thought worthy of recognition, 
being based on slight characters, and jabalis, as the specific 
name of the Bean Goose, has priority over segetum. 
Koo 
Plegadis vs. Ngatheus (c/. LONNBERG, Journ. f. Orn., 1906, 533).
