Russo-Asiat. ii. 1827, p. 207). As this work is now 

 known to have been issued in 1827, tlioutrh the date 

 on the title page is 1811, Pallas' name is antedated 

 bj- Teinirinck's, published in 1820. Temminck hardly 

 describes the bird, but only sutrgests a name. A few 

 years later, howevei', Brehm (Jahrb. Naturges. eur. 

 Yogel, ii. 1824, p. G52) gave a quite satisfactory 

 description under the same name, which must stand 

 ibr this bird. 



Genus ARDEA. Type by subsequent designation of Gray 

 (List Gen. Eds. Isted. 1840, p. GO) : ^1. cinerea Linn. 



Genus EGRETTA. Type by monotypy : E. garzetta (Linn.). 



Genus ARDEOLA. Type by monotypy : A. ralloides (Scop.). 



Ardeola ibis. The BufE-backed Heron is quite clearly 

 described by Linnaeus in the 10th edition, the description 

 being taken from Has'^elquist. Jn the 12tli edition the 

 reference to Hasselquist is transferred to Taiitabis ibis, 

 which is obviously another bird — the Wood Ibis — and so 

 this name was not used by the authors of the 1st edition 

 of the List. 



Genus IXOBRYCHUS. Type by subsequent designation of 

 Stone (Auk, 1907, p. 192) : I. minuhis (Linn.). This 

 generic name, published in 1828, antedates Ardetta 

 Gray, 1842. 



Genus NYCTICORAX. Type by monotypy and tautonyniy : 

 N. nycticorax (Linn.). 



Nycticorax nycticorax. The Night-Heron was first described 

 in the 10th edition of Linnaeus under the name Ardea 

 nycticorax. In the ]2th edition it is referred to twice 

 under the names A. vyiiicorad\\i. 2?>b, and A. grisea, 

 p. 239. 



Genus BOTAURUS. Type by subsequent designation of 

 Gray (List Gen. Bds. 1st ed. 1840, p. G6) : B. stellaris 

 (Linn.).
