II. Eliminations. 



Species and subspecies, which, as subsequent investigatio7i has sho-wn, 

 should ttoiv be tuitkdrawn from the A. O. U- Check-List. 



22. Synthliborhamphus wumizusume {Temm.). — The 

 claim of this species to rank as a North American bird appears 

 to have been based on winter specimens of Synthliborhamphus 

 antiquus. (Cf. Stejneger, Pr. U. S. Nat. Mus. IX, 1886, 

 p. 524.) 



290. Colinus graysoni {Laxvr.). — The North American 

 record proves to have been based on specimens of Colinus ridg- 

 wayi. (Cf. Allen, Bull. Am. Mus. Nat. Hist. I, No. 7, July, 

 18S6, p. 273, and also Ridgway, Manual N. A. Birds, 18S7, P- 

 585, Appendix.) 



519 a. Carpodacus frontalis rhodocolpus {Cab.). — "This 

 proves to be an individual color phase of C. frontalis (or C. 

 mexicanus frontalis).^'' (Cf. Ridgway., Manual N. A. Birds, 

 1887. P- 39^^' foot-note, and Appendix, p. 594. 



576. Peucaea arizonae Ridgiv. — "This proves to be the same 

 as No. 577, P. mexicanus {Laivr.). . . ." (Cf. Ridgway ., Manual 

 N. A. Birds, 18S7, Appendix, p. 594.) 



589 b. Peucaea ruficeps eremceca Brown. — This proves 

 to be the same as No. 580 a, Peuccea rujiceps boucardi (Scl.). 

 (Cf. Sennett, Auk, V, Jan. 1888, p. 40, and Sharpe, Cat. 

 Bds. Brit. Mus. XII, 1SS8, p. 714.) 



III. Changes in Nomenclature. 



The table presented by Mr. Ridgw^ay on page 594 of his 

 'Manual ' comprises so large a proportion of the recent changes 

 in nomenclature that it will be necessary to include here only 

 those changes made since the publication of his work.
