202 Proposed Changes in the A. O. U. Check-List. [ Ree 
nevia Gmelin, Syst. Nat., I, pt. I, 1788, p. 289; New York); since 
Otus asio asio of the A. O. U. Check-List refers properly to the Florida 
race now called Otus asio floridanus. (Cf. Ridgway, Bull. U. S. Nat. 
Mus., No. 50, pt. VI, 1914, pp. 690-692.) 
Otus asio floridanus (Ridgway) becomes Otus asio asio (Linnzus); 
since birds from South Carolina, the type locality of the latter, are 
referable to the Florida race. (Cf. Ridgway, Bull. U. S. Nat. Mus., 
No. 50, pt. VI, 1914, pp. 687-690.) 
Bubo virginianus neochanes Stone, Auk, XX XIII, Oct, 1916, p. 427 
(error) should be Bubo virginianus neochorus Oberholser, Proc. 
Biol. Soc. Wash., X XVII, 1914, p. 46 (Fox Island River, Newfound- 
land). 
Surnia ulula ulula (Linnzeus) becomes Surnia ulula pallasi Buturlin, 
Ornith. Monatsb., XV, June, 1907, p. 100 (Siberia); since the Alaska 
record of the species is referable to the latter. (Cf. Hartert, Vég. Pal. 
Fauna, VIII, 1913, pp. 1012-1013.) 
Glaucidium phalenoides (Daudin) becomes Glaucidium brasilianum 
ridgwayi Sharpe (Glaucidium ridgwayi Sharpe, Ibis, 1875, p. 55, in 
text; Guatemala); since the Mexican bird is a recognizable race, and 
a subspecies of the South American Glaucidium brasilianwm (Gmelin). 
(Cf. Ridgway, Bull. U. S. Nat. Mus., No. 50, pt. VI, 1914, pp. 798- 
803.) 
Micropallas whitneyi idoneus Ridgway (cf. Stone, Auk, XX XIII, 1916, 
p. 427) should be Micropallas whitneyi idonea Ridgway, since the 
gender of the subspecific name should conform to that of the genus. 
Conuropsis carolinensis interior Bangs becomes Conuropsis caro- 
linensis ludoviciana (Gmelin), since birds from Louisiana, the type 
locality of Psittacus ludovicianus Gmelin, Syst. Nat., I, pt. i, 1788, 
p. 347, are referable to the interior race. (Cf. Ridgway, Bull. U. 8. 
Nat. Mus., No. 50, pt. VII, 1916, p. 150.) 
Trogon ambiguus Gould becomes Trogonurus ambiguus ambiguus 
(Gould), by recognition of the genus Trogonurus Bonaparte (Ateneo 
Italiano, II, No. 8, May, 1854, p. 129; type, Trogon collaris Vieillot), 
and of an extralimital subspecies. (Cf. Ridgway, Bull. U. S. Nat. 
Mus., No. 50, pt. V, 1911, pp. 761-773.) 
Megaceryle Kaup becomes Streptoceryle Bonaparte, (Ateneo Italiano, 
II, 1854, p. 320; type, Alcedo alcyon Linnzeus), because the latter is 
recognized as a genus and the former is consequently found to be 
extralimital. (Cf. Ridgway, Bull. U.S. Nat. Mus. No. 50, pt. VI, 
1914, pp. 407-421). The genus Streptoceryle includes the following 
North American forms: 
Streptoceryle alcyon alcyon (Linnzus). 
Streptoceryle alcyon caurina (Grinnell). 
Streptoceryle torquata torquata (Linnzus). 
Ceryle americana septentrionalis Sharpe becomes Chloroceryle 
americana septentrionalis (Sharpe), by recognition of the genus
