APPENDIX. 389 



Genus SCOLOPAX. Type by Linneaii tautonymy arid by 

 subsequent designation of Gray (List Gen. Bds. 1st ed. 

 1840, p. 70) : S. rusticola Linn. 



Genus GALLINAGO. Type by tautonymy : G. yadinago 

 (Linn.). 



Gallinago gallinago. For the reason of the change in this 

 name see Ciconia ciconia, p. 387. 



Gallinago media. Latham's name Scolopax media, 1787, has 

 two years' precedence over Gmelin's S. major, published 

 in 1789. 



Genus LIMNOCRYPTES. Type by monotypy : L. gallinula 

 (Linn.). Wrongly spelled Lymnocryptes in the original 

 description. 



Genus LIMICOLA. Type by monotypy : L. pygmcea = 

 L.falclnellus (Pontopp.). 



Limicola falcinellus. As has been shown by Mathews (Aus- 

 tral Av. Rec. i. 1912, p. 32), the oldest and correct 

 name for the Broad-billed Sandpiper is that of Pout- 

 oppidan here used. 



Genus TEREKIA. Type by monotypy : T. javanica Bp.= 

 T. cinerea (Gulden st.). 



Genus TEINGA. Type by subsequent designation of Gray 

 (List Gen. Bds. 1st ed. 1840, p. 69) : T. canutus Linn. 



If the method of Linnean tautonymy be followed, 

 the type of the genus must be the Green Sandpiper, 

 Trinya ocliropus Linn, (see Smithsonian Inst. Publ. 

 no. 1838, " Opinions rendered," 1910, p. 33). 



In this case the Committee have decided to use the 

 older method oE determination of the type as involving 

 less change in current nomenclature.
