390 APPENDIX. 



Tringa maritima. Tringa striata Linn., 1766, used in the 

 former edition of the List, has been shown to refer to 

 the Redshank and not to the Purple Sandpiper ; also 

 T. maritima Bru'nn. is earlier, dating from 1764. 



Tringa fermginea. Brtinnich's name for the Curlew-Sand- 

 piper has ten years' precedence over Giildeiistiidt's 

 Scolopax subarquata, which dates from 1774. 



Genus TRYNGITES. Type by original designation : T. ru- 

 fescens (Vieill.) = T. sulruficollis (Vieill.). 



Tryngites subruficollis. This bird was described by Vieillot 

 under two separate names on p. 465 and p. 470 o the 

 same volume. The former, T. subrufaollis, has, there- 

 fore, priority over the latter, T. ntfescens, used in the 

 1st edition of the List. 



Genus CALIDEIS. Type by monotypy : C. arenaria (Linn.). 



Calidris arenaria. Hartert (Hand-list of British Birds, 

 p. 173) has Tringa leucophcea, quoted from Vroeg's 

 Catalogue for the Sanderling. As mentioned already, 

 the Committee do not accept these names. 



Genus MACHETES. Type by origin;il designation : M. pug- 

 nax (Linn.). Pavoncella is a generic name often used 

 for the Ruff. It was first introduced by Leach (Syst. 

 Cat. Mamm. & B. Brit. Mus. 1816, p. 29), but is, as 

 there used, a " nomen nudam." Machetes Cuvier dates 

 from the following year. 



Genus EREUNETES. Type by monotypy: E. pusillus 

 (Linn.). 



Genus BARTRAMIA. Type by monotypy : B. longicauda 

 (Bechst.). This name has priority over Actiturus Bp., 

 which is known to date from 1832 (see Chlamydotis, 

 p. 388).
