382 APPENDIX. 



-Anser fabalis. Latham's name has two years' priority over 

 Anas segetum Gmelin, used in the 1st edition of the 

 List and by Saunders. 



Anser erythropus. Hartert (Hand-list of British Birds, 

 p. 129) uses the name Anser finmarchicus Gunnerus, 

 1767, for the Lesser White-fronted Goose, as he st^ates 

 that Anas erythropus, Linn., 1758, is not determinable ; 

 recently Lonnberg (Ibis, 1913, p. 400) has given very

 White-fronted Goose, which breeds in northern Sweden, 

 while the larger form, Anser albifrons, never does so. 

 The Committee have accepted Lonnberg's determi- 

 nation.

 (, 'heck-List N. Amer. Bds. 1886, p. 126. 



Sranta bernicla. The oldest specific name is that of Linnaeus ; 

 it was not used in the 1st edition of the List as it would 

 have involved the use of the same generic and specific 

 name. 



Oenus CYGNUS. Type by tautonymy : Cygnus cygnus 

 (Linn.). 



Genus TADORNA. 'J ype by tautonymy : Tadorna tadorna 

 (Linn.). 



Tadorna tadorna. For the reason of the chansje of this name 

 see Branta hernicla. 



Tadorna casarca. This Duck was named in Vroeg's Cata- 

 logue ; if this work were recognised it would stand as 

 Casarca fermyinea. The Committee, however, have
