] Thirteenth Supplement to the A. O. U. Check-List. A 27 



Dendroica iestiva brewsteri Grinnell, Condor, 1903, 72. 

 Not accepted, the characters ascribed being too slight for 

 recognition in the Check-List. 



Heleodytes brunneicapillus a/if/w/iyi Meakns (Auk, 1902, 143). 

 This is considered to be the same as If. b. coiiesi {cf. 

 SvvARTH, Condor, 1904, 17-19), and is therefore rejected. 



Catherpes mexicanus polioptihis Oberholser, Auk, 1903, 197. 

 Rejected, as not sufficiently distinct from C. mexicanus 

 albifro7is. 



Genus TROGLODYTES Vieillot vs. Paulomagus Howe {cf. 

 Howe, Suppl. Birds R. I., 1903, 22). Faulomagus is pro- 

 posed as a new generic name for the House Wrens. The 

 Committee has already decided that Troglodytes refers to the 

 House Wrens ; hence Faulotnagits is superfluous. 



Genus OLBIORCHILUS Oberholser vs. Anorthura Rennie 

 {cf. Sharpe, Hand-List, IV, 1903, 91). Anorthura is an 

 exact equivalent of Troglodytes, embracing the House Wrens 

 only, leaving Olbiorchilus as the first name applicable to the 

 Winter Wrens. 



Cistothorus pahistris dissacptus Bangs, Auk, 1902, 352. This 

 is rejected as being equivalent to Telmatodytes palustris. 

 Mr. Bangs distinguished two forms, but through inad- 

 vertence renamed T palustris \ the other has since been 

 described as Tp. iliacus. 



Sitta pus ilia caniccps Bangs {cf. Hellmavr, Tierreich, Lief. 

 18, 1903, 190). This was rejected at an earlier meeting 

 of the Committee {cf Ninth Supplement, Auk, 1899, 131). 



Genus PSALTRIPARUS Bonaparte vs. JS.githalos Hermann 

 {cf Hellmavr, Tierreich, Lief. 18, 1903, 108). These two 

 genera are held by the Committee to be perfectly distinct. 



Auriparus vs. Antkoscopus {cf Hellmavr, Tierreich, Lief. 18, 

 1903, 125). No change seems warranted.
