because, while Cerconectes possibly appeared before Hrismatura, the 
exact dates of publication are still too indefinitely determinable. 
Olor Wagler versuz Cygnu3 Zimmermann. (Cf. Richmond, Proc. U.S. 
Nat. Mus., LIII, Aug. 16, 1917, p. 587.) Change rejected, since 
Zimmermann is here neither binomial nor an accepted binary author. 
Himantopus Brisson versus Hypsibates Nitzsch. (Cf. Mathews, Novit. 
Zool., XVIII, No. 1, June 17, 1911, p. 7.) Change rejected, because 
Brisson’s names are held to be valid. 
Pisobia maculata (Veillot) versus Pisobia pectoralis (Say). (Cf. 
Mathews, Birds Australia, III, pt. 3, Aug. 18, 1913. p. 261.) Change 
rejected, because Tringa maculata Vieillot is not preoccupied by 
“Tringa maculata’? Linnaeus, since there is no such combination in 
the writings of Linnaeus. (Cf. Oberholser, ‘The Auk,’ XXXV, 
No. 1, January, 1918, p. 63.). 
Tringa ocrophus Linnaeus versus Tringa ochropus Linnaeus. (Cf. 
Hartert, British Birds, IX, No. 1, June 1, 1915, p. 9.) Change re- 
jected, on the ground that Tinga ocrophus cannot be considered a 
mere typographical error. 
Arenaria Brisson versus Morinella Meyer and Wolf. (Cf. Mathews, 
Novit. Zool., XVII, No. 3, Dec. 15, 1910, p. 498.) Change rejected, 
because Brisson’s names are held to be valid. 
Chaemopelia Swainson versus Columbdina Spix. (Cf. Allen, Science, 
N.S., XXXIII, 1911, pp. 336-337.) Change rejected, because the 
type of Columbina Spix was. first designated (Gray, List Gen. Birds, 
1841, p. 75) as Columbina strepitans Spix, which is generically dis- 
tinct from the species of the genus currently called Chaemepelia. 
(Cf. Todd, Annals Carnegie Mus., VIII, 1913, p. 515.) 
Falco agsalon Tunstall versus Falco regulus Pallas. (Cf. Hartert, 
Hand-List British Birds, 1912, p. 112.) Change rejected, because 
Falco aesalon Tunstall is not a nomen nudum, but a valid name, 
based on the “Merlin” of Pennant’s ‘British Zoology’ and “l’Emer- 
illon”’ of Brisson’s ‘Ornithologie.’ 
luco Fleming versus FPlammeaFournel. (Cf. Mathews, Austral Avian 
Record, I, No. 4, Sept. 18, 1912, p. 104.) Change rejected, because 
the earlier Tyto Billberg is not preoccupied by Tyta Billberg, and 
is therefore the proper name for the Barn Owls. 
Cryptoglaux Richmond versus Aegolius Kaup. (Cf. Hartert, Hand- 
List British Birds, 1912, p. 105.) Change rejected, on the ground 
that Nyctala Brehm, from whatever date taken, is preoccupied by 
Nyctalus Bowdich 1825; and that Aegolius Kaup 1829 is preoccupied 
by Aegolia Billberg 1820. The only tenable name for the genus is 
therefore Cryptoglaux Richmond. 
Cryptoglaux funerea richardsoni (Bonaparte) versus Cryptoglaux 
tengmalmi richardsoni (Bonaparte.) (Cf. Hartert, Hand-List 
British Birds, 1912, p. 105). Change rejected, because Strix funerea 
Linnaeus refers undoubtedly to this species, notwithstanding the 
statement that it is the size of a crow.
