368 Fourteenth Supplement to the A. O. U. Check-List. [f^^ 



Nos. 25S and 25Sa thus become 



258. Catoptrophorus semipalmatus (Gmelin). 



258a. Catoptrophorus semipalmatus inomatus (Brewster). 



2(34. Numenius longirostris Wilson. An earlier name occurs in 



264. Numenius americanus Bechstein. 



Numenius americanus Bechstetn, in Latham, Allg. Ueb. 

 Vogel, IV, ii, 1812, 432. (Richmond, MS.) 



283.1. Arenaria morinella (Linn^us). This becomes a sub- 

 species of No. 283, and will stand as 



283a. Arenaria interpres morinella (Linn.eus). 



The Ruddy Turnstone is found to intergrade with A. interpres, 

 and the above change becomes necessary. {Cj. Bishop, Auk, 

 XXIII, 1906, 335.) 



316. Zenaidura macroura (Linnaeus). This becomes 



316. Zenaidura macroura carolinensis (Linn^us). 



Columba carolinensis Linnaeus, Syst. Nat., ed. 12, 1, 1766, 286. 



Linnfeus appears to have based the name Cohimba macroura on 

 Edwards's plate 15, and not on Catesby. On this assumption 

 Zenaidura macroura becomes the name of the West Indian bird, 

 while that for the continental form is as given above. (C/. also, 

 Bangs, Proc. Biol. Soc. Wash., XIX, 1906, 44.) 



319. Melopelia leucoptera (Linn.eus). This is changed to 



319. Melopelia asiatica (Linn.eus). 



Columba asiatica Linn^us, Syst. Nat., ed. 10, I, 1758, 163. 



The name asiatica has anteriority over leucoptera, and should be 

 substituted for it, both names having exactly the same foundation. 

 (Richmond, MS).
