in an anonymous sale catalogue, the author of which can 

 only be tiaced on indirect evidence. 



Genus MELIZOPHILUS. Type by monotypy : M. dart- 

 fordien.ns (Lath.). 



Melizophilus undatus dartfordiensis. The oldest name for the 

 Dartford Warbler is Boddaert's Motacitta undata, 1783. 

 The British form is slightly smaller and darker and is 

 separable as a subspecies, and must bear Latham's name 

 Sylvia dartfordiensis^ 1787. The name used in the 

 British Museum Catalogue, Motacilla proiincialis Gmel., 

 1788, is of more recent date than either. 



Genus AGROBATES*. Type by monotypy: J. galactodes 

 (Temm.). 



In the former edition of the List Aedon Boie (Isis, 

 182G, p. 972) was used for the Rufous Warbler. This 

 name is unfortunately preoccupied by Aedon Forster 

 (Synop. Cat. Brit, Bds. 1817, p. 53), and the next 

 available name is Ayrobates Swainson, 1836. 



Genus LOCUSTELLA. Type by tautonymy : L. locustella 

 (Lath.), 1700 = /,. mi'na (Bodd.), 1783. 



Genus CETTIA. Type by monotypy : C. cetti (Marm,). 

 Cettia cetti. Though both this name and that of Temminck 



(Sylvia sericea, Man. d'Orn. i. p. 197) were published in 



the same year, the first name is slightly prior in date. 

 Genus ACROCEPHALTTS. Type by subsequent designation of 



Gray (List Gen. Bds. 1st ed. 1840, p. 21) : A. arundi- 



naceus (Linn.). 



Acrocephalus arundinaceus. Both Seebohm and Saunders 

 have used Meyer's name Sybia turdoides, 1815, for the 

 Great Reed- Warbler, because, according to the first 

 named, Linnseus in placing the species under the genus 

 Turdus made the definition quite misleading. Turdns 



* The spelling 1 of the name of the Rufous Warbler in the original descrip- 

 tion is " galactotes," not " galactodes." This is doubtless a misprint in Tem- 

 minck's description. By an oversight, this original spelling was overlooked 

 in the reference to the original description on p. 71 of this volume.
