aca | Fourteenth Supplement to the A. O. U. Check-List. 391 
No change required, since Egatheus proves to be a substitute name 
for [bis Lack&rrpsE, an Old World genus. 
202. Nycticorax nycticorax nevius vs. NV. n. griseus (c}. DuBois, 
Syn. Avium, 1903, 917). A change proves to be unnecessary, 
since it is found that grisea was based on a young bird, without 
locality, but probably from Europe, from which the American 
bird is held to be subspecifically distinct. 
Coturnicops vs. Ortygops (cf. Twelfth Supplement, Auk, 1903, 
368). Ortygops proves to be a pure synonym of Coturnicops, 
hence no change is required. 
Ionornis vs. Porphyriola (cj. GopMAN & SHARPE, Biol. Centr.- 
Amer., Aves, III, 1903, 327). 
The proposed change is not accepted, as there is a question of 
priority between the two names, and the type species of Porphyriola 
=49) 
was a nomen nudum until 1852. 
256. Helodromas solitarius vs. Rhyacophilus solitarius (cf. 
OBERHOLSER, Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., XXVIII, 1905, 838). 
A change is considered unnecessary. 
Actitis vs. T'ringoides (cf. Sronr, Auk, 1907, 198). No change 
required, the proposed innovation being based on the “first species” 
rule. 
Aigialeus (cj. Cours, Key, 5th ed., 1903, 775). Not accepted; 
based on characters too slight for recognition. 
Cohinus virginianus insularis Howk, Proc. Biol. Soc. Wash., 
XVII, 1904, 168. Based in all probability upon a straggler from 
the mainland of Florida, and the characters ascribed are too slight 
for admittance to the List. 
Lophortyx catalinensis GRINNELL, Auk, 1906, 262. Considered 
as unworthy of recognition, the characters given for the insular 
bird being intermediate between those of allied forms from the 
mainland. 
Bonasa vs. [Jylobrontes (cf. Stronn, Auk, 1907, 198). Proposed 
change based on the now rejected “first species” rule.
