1879. Cory, A. B. Description of a New Species of the Family Ardeidae [cyaniros- 



tris], from the Bahama Islands.= 4 loose half-sheet, dated Boston, Oct. 8, 1879. 

 This irregular mode of publication is highly objectionable, and scarcely admissible. The 

 supposed new species is apparently not distinct from the common Louisiana Heron, Ardea 

 ludovidana of Wilson, Demiegretta ludovidana Baird, or Hydranassa tricolor, Kidgw. The 

 specific name is apparently to be taken for cyaneirostris.
