is a comparatively rare variety and there can be little doubt that 

 confusa is the ancestral form, and that systematically speaking 

 this form should be the type. In cases of this kind it would, I 

 think, be a great advantage if there were some agreement amongst 

 naturalists by which the commonest form of a variable species 

 might be allowed to take the place of the type in spite of its later 

 discovery.
