Genus GALLINA60 Leach. An earlier reference is found in 

 Genus GALLINAGO Koch. 



Gallinago Koch, Syst. Baier. ZooL, 1816, 312. Type, Scolopax 

 gallinago Linn^us. (Cf. Stone, Auk, XXIV, 1907, 191.) 



230.1. Gallinago major (Gmelin). This becomes 

 230.1. Gallinago media (Latham). 



Scolopax media Latham, Suppl. Gen. Syn., I, 1787, 292. (Cf. 

 Oberholser, Auk, XVI, 1899, 179.) Latham appears to have 

 been the first author to use media in a binomial sense.

 Genus MACRORHAMPHUS T. Forster. 



Macrorhamphus Forster, Synop. Cat. Brit. Birds, 1817, 22.

Macrorhamphus is a nomen nudum with Leach. (Cf. Stone, 

 Auk, 1907, 195.) 



In the genus Arquatella, Nos. 236 and 237 become subspecies of 

 No. 235 (Cf. Bishop, Waterfowl Family, 1903, 365), as follows: 



235a. Arquatella maritima couesi (Ridgavay). 

 2356. Arquatella maritima ptilocnemis (Coues). 



Genus ACTODROMAS Kaup. By the action of the law of 

 priority, this becomes 



Genus PISOBIA Billberg. 



Pisobia Billberg, Syn. Faunje Scand., I, ii, 1828, 136. Type, 

 Tringa viinuta Leisler. (Cf. Lonnberg, Journ. f. Orn., 

 1906, 532.)

 238. Pisobia aurita (Latham).
