^°190'8^^] Fourteenth Supplement to the A. 0. U. Check-List. 393 



U. S. Nat. Mus., XXVII, 1904, 185. These two forms not admitted, 

 being too close to B. v. saturatus for recognition as independent 

 subspecies. 



Bubo virginianus occidentalis (cf. Oberholser, Proc. U. S. Nat. 

 Mus., XXVII, 1904, 191). Not admitted, for reasons given in the 

 Eighth Supplement, Auk, 1897, 132. 



3756. Bubo virginianus subarcticus vs. Asio magellanicus wa'pa- 

 cuthu {cf. Oberholser, Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., XXVII, 1904, 

 191). This proposed change not adopted, since Strix tvapa- 

 cutha was based on a young bird, not with certainty identifiable. 



[377.] Sumia ulula vs. S. junerea (cf. Oberholser, Proc. Biol. 

 Soc. Wash., XIX, 1906, 42). No action necessary (see 

 'Changes in Nomenclature,' under No. 371). 



[377.] Sumia ulula vs. <S. u. doliata (cf. Sharpe, Hand-List, I, 

 1899, 296). With the material at its command, the Com- 

 mittee cannot distinguish this form, the proper name for which, 

 if recognizable, will be S. u. pallasi Buturlix. 



Glaucidium vs. Noctua (cf. Stone, Auk, 1907, 192). Proposed 

 change not accepted, since Noctua of S. G. Gmelin proves to be 

 referable to the Short-eared Owl (cf. Stone, Auk, 1908, 221). 



396a. Dryobates scalaris lucasanus vs. D. lucasanus (cf. Brewster, 

 Bull. Mus. Comp. Zool., XLI, 1902, 102). Recent material 

 from Lower California has convinced the Committee that a 

 change is unnecessary. 



Picoides arcticus tenuirostris Bangs, Auk, 1900, 131. Not 

 accepted; the characters ascribed to this form appear to be too 

 slight for recognition. 



403. Sphyrapicus ruber vs. S. r. daggetii (cf. Anderson & Grin- 

 nell, Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. Phila., 1903, 8). Again rejected, 

 for reasons given in the Eleventh Supplement (Auk, 1902, 

 334). 



MeJanerpes formicivorus aculcaius (cf. Swarth, Pac. Coast
