1918.] B.O.U. List of British Birds. 235 



resolved to rehabilitate the genera Hirundo and Podiceps to 

 their old places as the correct generic names for the Swallow 

 and the Grebes respectively, thus bringing the nomenclature 

 of these well-known birds into agreement with that in the 

 B.O.U. List. 



The following additions and alterations will have to be 

 made in the B. O. U. List. 



p. 38. Add :— 



Calandrella brachydactyla longipennis. 

 Eastern Short-toed Lark. 



Alauda longipennis Eversmann, Bull. Soc. Imp. Nat. 

 Moscou, xxi. 1848, p. 219 : Songarei {i. e. Western Mon-

 had sent to him a Short-toed Lark, which proves to be an 

 example of this race. It was obtained at Fair Isle on 

 11 November, 1907. It must, therefore, be added to the 

 British List. 



This form of the Short-toed Lark takes the place of the 

 typical race in Central Asia from Transcaspia to Tibet and 

 winters in India. 



p. 39. Transfer from p. 326 :— 



Melanocorypha calandra. Calandra Lark. 

 Mr. J. B. Nichols (Brit. Birds, x. 1917, p. 254) states 

 that two examples of this species were shot near St. Leonards, 

 Sussex, on 16 & 17 May, 1916, out of a small party of 

 five, and that the birds were examined in the flesh by 

 Mr. Ruskin Butterfield. The species must, therefore, 

 be transferred from the hypothetical to the regular list of 

 British Birds. 



p. 41. For Motacilla boarula read 



Motacilla cinerea. 



Motacilla cinerea Tunstall, Orn. Brit, 1771, p. 2. 



It now seems clear that Scopoli's name M. boarula applies 

 not to the Grey but to the Blue-headed Wagtail (^Motacilla
