p. 178. For Genus Glaucion read 



Genus GLAUCIONETTA Stejneger, Proc. U.S. Nat. Mus. 

 viii. Sept. 14, 1885, p. 409. Type by original designation, 

 G. clangula (Linn.). 



The generic term Glaucion Kaup, 1829, is invalidated by 

 Glaucion Oken, Lelirb. der Natur. iii. pt. 1, 1815, p. ix, 

 used for a mollusc. 



For the exact dnte of publication of this generic name the 

 authors are indebted to the courtesy of Mr. Charles W. 

 Richmond of Washington. The date of the publication of 

 Charitonetta Stejneger, Bull. U.S. Nat. Mus. No. 29, p. 163, 

 type Anas albeoh Linn., is December 16, 1885. If, there- 

 fore, the Golden-eyed and the Butfel-headed Ducks are 

 considered congeneric, Glaucionetta must stand for them 

 both as the oldest generic name.
