APPENDIX. 389 



Genus SCOLOFAX. Type by Linnean tautonymy and by 

 subsequent designation oE Gray (List Gen. Bds. 1st ed. 

 1840, p. 70) : S. rusticola Linn. 



Genus GALLINAGO. Type by tautonymy: G. gadinago 

 (Linow). 



Gallinago gallinago. For the reason of the change in this 

 name see Ciconia ciconia, p. 387. 



Gallinago media. Latham's name Scolopax media, 1787, has 

 two years' precedence over Gmelin's S. major, published 

 in 1789. 



Genus LIMNOCRYPTES. Type by monotypy : L. gallinula 

 (Linn.) . Wrongly spelled Lymnocryptes in the original 

 description. 



Genus LIMICOLA. Type by monotypy : L. fygmoia = 

 L . falcinellus (Pontopp.). 



Limicola falcinellus. As has been shown by Mathews (Aus- 

 tral Av. Rec. i. 1912, p. 32), the oldest and correct 

 name for the Broad-billed Sandpiper is that of Pout- 

 oppidan here used. 



Genus TEEEKIA. Type by monotypy : T. javanica Bp.= 

 T. cinerea (Giildenst.). 



Genus TEINGA. Type by subsequent designation of Gray 

 (List Gen. Bds. 1st ed. 1840, p. 69) : 2\ canutus Linn. 



If the method of Linuean tautonymy be followed, 

 the type of the genus must be the Green Sandpiper, 

 Trinya opliropus Linn, (see Smithsonian Inst. Publ. 

 no. 1838, " Opinions rendered," 1010, p. 33). 



In this case the Committee have decided to use the 

 older method of determination of the type as involving 

 less change iu current nomenclature.
