SOME EMENDED NAMES OF NORTH AMERICAN BIRDS. 

 By ROBERT RIDOWAV. 



The following names, adopted by the " Committee on Classification and 

 Nomenclature" of the American Ornithologists' Union, represent new or 

 hitherto unpublished combinations. They are here presented in order 

 that the first known use of such combinations may be cited among the 

 references which the committee has decided to give under each species, 

 viz, the first pertinent binomial or trinomial appellation, and the first use 

 of the name as adopted in the new list now being prepared by the com- 

 mittee. 



When the species is one given in the writer's "Nomenclature of North 

 American Birds" (Bulletin 21, U. S. National Museum), the correspond- 

 ing name and number are given ; but in the case of species described 

 since the " Nomenclature " was published, the full reference to the origi- 

 nal description is given.
