Russo-Asiat. ii. 1827, p. 207). As this work is now 

 known to have been issued in 1827, though the date 

 on the title page is 1811, Pallas' name is antedated 

 by Temininck's, published in 1820. Temminck hardly 

 describes the bird, but only suggests a name. A few 

 years later, however, Brehm (Jahrb. Naturges. eur. 

 Vogel, ii. 1824, p. G52) gave a quite satisfactory 

 description under the same name, which must stand 

 for this bird. 



Genus AEDEA. Type by subsequent designation of Gray 

 (List Gen. Bds. Isted. 1840, p. 60): A. cinerea Linn. 



Genus EGRETTA. Type by monotypy : E. garzetta (Linn.). 

 Genus ARDEOLA. Type by monotypy : A. ralloides (Scop.). 



Ardeola ibis. The Buff-backed Heron is quite clearly 

 described by Linnseus in the 10th edition, the description 

 being taken from Hasselquist. In the 12th edition the 

 reference to Hasselquist is transferred to Tantalus ibis, 

 which is obviously another bird the Wood Ibis and so 

 this name was not used by the authors of the 1st edition 

 of the List. 



Genus IXOBRYCHUS. Type by subsequent designation of 

 Stone (Auk, 1907, p. 192) : 7. minutus (Linn.). This 

 generic name, published in 1828, antedates Ardetta 

 Gray, 1842. 



Genus NYCTICORAX, Type by monotypy and tautonymy : 

 N. nycticorax (Linn.). 



Nycticorax nycticorax. The Night-Heron was first described 

 in the 10th edition of Linnaeus under the name Ardea 

 nycticorax. In the 12th edition it is referred to twice 

 under the names A. nycticorax^ p. 235, and A. yrisea, 

 p. 239. 



Genus BOTAURUS. Type by subsequent designation of 

 Gray (List Gen. Bds. 1st ed. 1840, p. 66) : B, stellaris 

 (Linn.).
