APPENDIX. 359 



Genus CALCARIUS. Type by monotypy : C. lapponkus 

 (Linn.). 



Genus PLECTROPHENAX. Type by original designation 

 of IStejneger ; P. nivalis (Linn.). The generic name 

 previously used, Plectrophanes Meyer, 1815, was shown 

 by Stejneger (Proc. U.S. Nat. Mus. v. 1883, p. 33) to 

 be synonymous with Calcarius, as it has the same type ; 

 it was therefore necessary to propose a new generic name 

 for the Snow-Bunting. 



Genus ALAUDA. Type by subsequent designation of 

 Swainson (Zool. Journ. iii. 1827, p. 343) : A. arvensis 

 Linn. 



Genus LULLULA. Type by subsequent designation of 

 Sharpe (Proc. Zool. Soc. 1874, p. 635) : L. arborea 

 (Linn.). 



Genus GALERIDA. Type by subsequent designation of 

 Gray (List Gen. Bds. 1st ed. 1840, p. 47) : G. cristata 

 (Linn.). The spelling of Galerida has been corrected 

 by Sharpe and others to Galerita, but if this emendation 

 is adopted the name must be dropped, as Galerita is 

 preoccupied for a well-known genus of beetles. 



Genus CALANDRELLA. Type by monotypy : C. hrachy- 

 dadyla (Leisl.). 



Genus MELANOCORYPHA. Type by subsequent designation 

 of Gray (List Gen. Bds. 1st ed. 1840, p. 48) : M. tar- 

 tafica (Pall.) = M. yeltoniensis (Forst.) . 



Genus OTOCORYS. Type by monotypy : Phileremos cornutus 

 Bp.= 0. alpestris (Linn.). Wrongly spelled Otocoris in 

 the original description. Hartert and some authors use 

 Eremophila Boie (Isis, 1828, p. 322), but this is pre- 

 occupied by Eremoplulus Humboldt, 1805. 



Genus MOTACILLA. Type by Linnean tautonymy and by 

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

 1840, p. 24) : M. alba Linn.
