Accentor modidaris. Hartert (Brit. Birds, iii. 1910, p. 313) 

 separates the British breeding race o£ the Hedge- 

 Sparrow as distinct under the name of Prunella modu- 

 laris occidentalis. The Committee, after careful exami- 

 nation, have been unable to recognise the differences 

 between the British and continental races. 



Oenus CINCLUS. Type by monotypy : C. cinclus (Linn.). 



Oinclus cinclus. The earliest name for this, the Swedish race 

 of the Dipper, is that of Linnseus. In the 1st edition 

 of the List it was entered as C. melanogaster Brehm 

 to avoid using the same generic and specific names. 

 Cinclus aquaticus Bechst., the name used for the British 

 Dipper in the 1st edition of the List, should be applied 

 I to the Dipper of central Europe, which is now con- 

 sidered to be a distinct subspecies. 



Genus TROGLODYTES. Type by subsequent designation of 

 Baird (Piicific R. E. Reports, ix. 1^58, p. 367) : T. aedon 

 Vieill. Gray (List Gen. Bds. 1st ed, 1840, p. 19) desig- 

 nated 2\ europceus= 'I', troglodytes, a species not men- 

 tioned by Vieillot in his original description of the genus. 



Genus MUSCICAPA. Type by subsequent designation of 

 Gray (List Gen. Bds. ]st ed. 1840, p. 32) : M. grisola. 



Jlnscicapa grisola and M. atricapilla. If Vroeg's Catalogue, 

 published in 1764, were recognised, the Spotted and Pied 

 Flycatchers would be known as J/, striata and J/, liypo- 

 leuca respectively. See Sylria suhalpina, p. oG3. 



Genus HIRUNDO. The type of this Linnean genus has 

 always been a somewhat difficult question to decide. 

 The genus contains eight species, of which the first- 

 named is " rustica," the Swallow, and this was made 

 the type of the genus by Gray (List Gen. Bds. 1st ed. 

 1840, p. 8), and adopted as such by Sharpe in the Cat. 

 Birds B. M. (vol. x. 1885, p. 123) and_by the A. 0. U. 

 Oheck-List.
