366 APPENDIX. 



old estiblished name should be adhered to, and they 

 have placed it in the list of " nomina conservanda." 

 Hartert uses Brehni's name Tardus pldlomelos for the 

 Song-Thrush. 



Turdus iliacus. Linnaeus' Tardus masicus of the 10th edition 

 is undoubtedly the oldest name for the Redwing, hut as 

 the transference of thiit name from the Song-Thrush to 

 the Redwing would lead to great confusion it has been 

 retained for the Song-Thrush. T. iliacus in the 10th 

 edition of Linnasus' Syst. Nat. is of doubtful signifi- 

 cation ; in the 12th edition it clearly stands for the 

 Redwing, and this is again adopted by the Committee 

 as a "nomen conservandum." 



Turdus aureus. The name lavdas aureus Holandre (1825) 

 has two years' priority over Tardus varius Pallas (1827). 

 Though dated 1811 on the title page, it is now known 

 that Pallas' work, Zoogr. Rosso-As. was not published 

 until 1827. 



•Genus MONTICOLA. Type by subsequent designation of 

 Gray (List, Gen. Bds. 1st ed. 1840, p. 26). M. saxatilis 

 (Linn.). 



•Genus PHCENICURUS. Forster's generic name Phcmicurus 

 fSynop. Oat. Brit. Bds. 1817, p. 10) antedates Ruticilla 

 O.L. Brehm (Isis, 1828, p. 1280). The type by tau- 

 tonymy is P.2}lia;nicurvs (Linn.). 



Phcenicurus titys. The earliest name for the Black Redstart 

 appears to be Motacilla gibraltariensis Gmelin (Syst. 

 Nat. i. pt. 2, 1789, p. 987), founded on Edwards' Grey 

 Redstart from Gibraltar. Moiacilla titys of Linnaeus' 

 10th and 12th editions is undoubtedly founded on a 

 female Common Redstart. As, however, the name titys 

 has been so long associated with this species, and it 

 has been found necessary to alter the generic name 

 usually associated with the Redstart, the Committee 

 propose to retain " titys'" as'a "nomen conservandum." 



Oenus ERITHACITS. This generic name is first met with on 

 the second table at the end of (Javier's Lecons d'Anat.
