 Distr. Met. An. Vert., published originally in the 

 Giornale Arcadico, vol. lii. 1831 (publ. 1832), p. 207,

Genus GLAEEOLA. Type by monotypy : G. pratincola 

 (Linn.). 



Glareola nordmanni. The correct name of this bird is some- 

 what difficult to determine. It was first obtained by 

 Dr. A. von Nordmann in south Russia, and sent to the 

 Imperial Society- of Naturalists of Moscow under the 

 manuscript name of G. melanoptera. This was altered 

 by the editor of the Society's publications — Fischer — 

 with the approbation of the Society, to nordmanni, but 

 the original description was drawn up by Nordmann 

 himself. 



Genus PHALAROPUS. Type by tautonymy : P. plialaropus 

 Briss. = P. fulicarius (Linn.). 



Phalaropus lobatus. This species was called Tringa lobata 

 in the 10th and 1\ hi/perhorea in the 12th edition of 

 Linnseus. The former name has undoubted priorit}-.
