Genus LXXXV. — Eiipoda, Brandt, replaces Ochtho- 



dromus, Reichenbach. 

 Genus LXXXVI. — Charadrius, Linne, replaces 



Mgialitis, Boie. 

 Genus LXXXVI I. — Eudromias, Brehm, replaces 

 Peltohyas, Sharpe ; the characters used for separa- 

 tion of the latter are of insufficient value. 

 Species 151. — C. julvus, Gmelin, replaces C. dominicus, Miill. 

 Genus LXXXVIII. — Hypsihates, Nitzsch, replaces Himan- 

 topus, Brisson. 

 26. Genus XCI. — -The authority for Numenius is Brunnich. 



Genus XCI I. — Omit. No differential character of sufficient 

 value to generically separate this from the preceding, 

 and Species 166 must be referred to Numenius. 

 Genus XCI II. — The authority for Limosa is Schaeffer. 

 Species 167. — L. haneri, Naumann, replaces L. novce- 



zealandice, Gray. 

 Species 168. — L. nielaiiiiroides, Gould, replaces L. limosa, 



Linne. 

 Genera XCIV., XCV., XCVL, XCVIL, XCVIIL, XCIX., and 

 C, must all be included under one genus, the name of 

 which is Tringa, Linne, which will include Species 169 to 

 176. To those who would prefer to retain these divisions 

 as genera the following changes are necessary ; — 



Genus XCV. — Tringa, Linne, replaces Helodromas, 



Kaup. 

 Genus XCVL — Heteroscelus, Baird, replaces Heter- 



actitis, Stejneger. 

 Genus XCVIL — Aciitis, Illiger, replaces Tringoides, 



Bonaparte. 

 Genus XCVIIL — Xeniis, Kaup, replaces Terekia, 

 Bonaparte. 



27. Genus CII. — Arcnaria, Bechstein, replaces Calidris, Illiger. 

 Species 178. — A. leucophcea, Pallas, replaces A. arenaria, Linne. 



28. Genera CIIL, CIV., and CV. must be united, the earliest name 



for which is Erolia, Vieillot, which will include the extra- 

 Australian species commonly referred to Pelidna. To 

 those who would retain these divisions as genera, the 

 only change necessary is the displacement of Ancylo- 

 cheiliis, Kaup, by Erolia, Vieillot. 



Species 182. — E. ferruginea, Brunnich, replaces E. subarqnata, 

 Gueldenstaedt. 



Genus CVI. — Camitus, Brehm, replaces Tringa, and. 



Species 184. — C. magnus, (iould, replaces C. crassirostris, 

 T. and S. 



Genus CVI I. — The authority for Gallinago is Koch. 



29. Genus CXI. — Trachelia, Scopoli, replaces Glareola, Brisson. 



There is no necessity to separate the genera Trachelia 

 and Galactochrysea.
