'^Fringilla angolensis Gmelin is preoccupied by F. angolensis Linnaeus. 



29 This is a bird of the "American Continent," and not found in Europe. It is placed between Nemosia 

 and Pyranga Vieillot. The only other reference to this genus I have seen is in Gray, Catal. Gen. and 

 Subgen. Birds, 1855, 156, where it is also a nomen nudum. 



M Originally placed in the Anseres, but Wetmore, Jour. Geology, XXV, No. 6, Sept. -Oct., 1917, 555- 

 557, refers it to the Steganopodes.
