^°1908^^] Fourteenth Supplement to the A. 0. U. Check-List. 391 



No change required, since Egatheus proves to be a substitute name 

 for Ibis LacepI:de, an Old World genus. 



202. Nycticorax nycticorax naevius vs. N. n. griseus (cf. Dubois, 

 Syn. Avium, 1903, 917). A change proves to be unnecessary, 

 since it is found that grisea was based on a young bird, without 

 locality, but probably from Europe, from which the American 

 bird is held to be subspecifically distinct. 



Cotumicops vs. Orti/gop.s (cf. Twelfth Supplement, Auk, 1903, 

 368). Ortygops proves to be a pure synonym of Cotumicops, 

 hence no change is recjuired. 



lonomis vs. Porphyriola (cf. Godman & Sharpe, Biol. Centr.- 

 Amer., Aves, III, 1903, 327). 



The proposed change is not accepted, as there is a question of 

 priority between the two names, and the type species of Porphyriola 

 was a nomen nudum until 1852. 



256. Helodromas solitarius vs. Rhyacophilus solitarius (cf. 

 Oberholser, Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., XXVIII, 1905, 838). 

 A change is considered unnecessary. 



Actitis vs. Tringoides (cf. Stone, Auk, 1907, 198). No change 

 required, the proposed innovation being based on the "first species" 

 rule. 



xEgialeus (cf. CouES, Key, 5th ed., 1903, 775). Not accepted; 

 based on characters too slight for recognition. 



Colinus virginianus insularis Howe, Proc. Biol. Soc. Wash., 

 XVII, 1904, 168. Based in all probability upon a straggler from 

 the mainland of Florida, and the characters ascribed are too slight 

 for admittance to the List. 



LopJwrfyx catalinensis Grinnell, Auk, 1906, 262. Considered 

 as unworthy of recognition, the characters given for the insular 

 bird being intermediate between those of allied forms from the 

 mainland. 



Bonasa vs. Hylobrontes (cf. Stone, Auk, 1907, 198). Proposed 

 change based on the now rejected "first species" rule.
