instead of Fratercula arctica arctica (L.). 
The Puffins breeding on the coasts of Brittany, the Channel 
Islands, British Isles and Feroes are as a rule very much 
smaller than the typical form from Sweden, Norway, Iceland, 
North America, etc. Wings of twelve Irish and British adult 
birds measure 158-166, eight from Herm 155-166, type of 
grabe 158 mm. Bill 43-48, height at base 34-37 mm. In a 
large series of F'. arctica arctica the wings measure 160-177, 
bills 45-54, height 31-44 mm.—E. H.

instead of Lagopus lagopus scoticus (Lath.). 
A careful study of the Red Grouse has shown so many 
differences between it and L. lagopus and its subspecies, that 
it appears to be hazardous to consider scoticus as a subspecies 
of Lagopus lagopus, although it is a close ally.—E. H.
