Vetola lapponica baueri (Naumann). 

 Vetola haemastica (Linnaeus). 

 Calidris leucophaea (Pallas) becomes Calidris leucophaea rubida 



(Gmelin) (Charadrius rubidus Gmelin, Syst. Nat., I, ii, 1789, p. 

 688; Hudson Bay, Canada), by recognition of a North American 

 subspecies. (Cf. Mathews, Birds Australia, III, pt. 3, Aug. 18, 1913, 

 p. 244.) 

 Totanus melanoleucus (Gmelin) becomes Glottis melanoleuca 

 (Gmelin), because not generically separable from Glottis nebularia. 

 (Cf. Mathews, Birds Australia, III, pt. 2, May 2, 1913, pp. 197-198; 

 pt. 3, Aug. 18, 1913, p. 224.) 

 tlliornis Kaup, Skizz. Entwick.-Gesch. Eur. Thierw., 1829, p. 156 

 (type, Totanus stagnatilis Bechstein). Recognized as a genus. (Cf. 

 Mathews, Birds Australia, III, pt, 2, May 2, 1913, pp. 197-199.) 

 Includes one North American species now in the genus Totanus: 



Iliornis flavipes (Gmelin). 

 tPhseopus Cuvier, Regne Animal, I, 1816, p. 485 (type, Scolopax phceopus 

 Linnaeus). Recognized as a genus. (Cf. Mathews, Birds Australia, 

 HI, pt. 2, May 2, 1913, pp. 167-169.) Includes the following North 

 American species now in the genus Numenius: 



Phaeopus hudsonicus (Latham). 



Phaeopus borealis (Forster). 



Phaeopus phaeopus phaeopus (Linnaeus). 



Phaeopus tahitiensis (Gmelin). 

 tNumenius arquatus (Linnaeus). Scolopax arquata Linnaeus, Syst. 

 Nat., ed. 10, 1, 1758, p. 145 (Sweden). Recorded from specimens 

 taken on the eastern and western coasts of Greenland. (Cf. Helms, 

 Dansk. Ornith. For. Tidssk., XI, Haefte 3-4, Sept., 1917, p. 173.) 

 iEgialitis Boie becomes Charadrius Linnaeus, because considered not 

 generically separable. (Cf. Hartert and Jackson, Ibis, 1915, pp. 

 526-527.) Consequently the North American species of Mgialiiis 

 will now stand as: 



Charadrius semipalmatus Bonaparte. 



Charadrius hiaticula septentrionalis (Brehm). 



Charadrius melodus Ord. 

 .ffigialitis hiaticula major (Seebohm) becomes Charadrius hiaticula 

 septentrionalis Brehm. iEgialitis septentrionalis Brehm, Naturg. 

 Vog. Deutschl., 1831, p. 548 (Iceland). (Cf. Schi01er, Dansk Ornith.

 clude Charadrius semipalmatus Bonaparte. (Cf. Mathews, Birds 

 Australia, III, pt, 2, May 2, 1913, p. 124). 

 fCirrepidesmus Bonaparte, Compt. Rejid. Acad. Sci., XLIII, 1856, p. 

 417 (type, Charadrius pyrrhothorax Gould = Charadrius atrifrons 

 Wagler). Recognized as a genus. (Cf. Mathews, Birds Australia,
