Page 148.—In the Key to the Genera of Scolopacidee the genus 
 Totanus was accidentally overlooked. This omission may be cor- 
rected by substituting for the matter following “k” and “kk” the 
following: 
k. Bill stouter, its depth at base equal to more than one-eighth the length of exposed 
culmen, the latter nearly as long as tarsus; rump white or mostly white. 
1. Larger (wing 176-191 mm.); bill distinctly upturned distally; tarsus nearly 
twice as long as middle toe without claw; no white on secondaries.

il. Smaller (wing 144-160 mm.); bill not upturned distally; tarsus much less than 
twice (but little more than one and a half times) as long as middle toe without 
claw; secondaries white............2.---2-0-2e eee ee eee eee Totanus (p. 342).

In the selection of generic names, the author has not followed 
certain authorities in adopting the following. It may be that 
Catharacta and Rubicola should be adopted in lieu of Megalestris 
and Philohela, respectively. Chlidonias I consider ineligible on 
account of the manner of publication; the remainder are names given 
by an anonymous author and therefore, according to my view, not 
eligible. 
Catharacta Brtnnicu, Orn. Bor., 1764, 32. (Type, as designated by Coues, 1863, 
C. skua Briinnich.) 
Chiidonias RaFINESQUE, Kentucky Gazette [newspaper], n. s., i, no. 8, Feb. 21, 
1822, 3. (Type, by monotypy, C. melanops Rafinesque = Sterna surinamensis 
Gmelin.) 
Rubicola ‘Vieill [ot]’”’ Jameson, ed. Wilson’s Am. Orn., iii, 1831, 98. (Type, 
by monotypy, Scolopax minor Gmelin.) 
Philomachus [Anonymous] Allg. Lit.-Zeitung, 1804, ii, no. 168, June 8, 1804, 
col. 542. (Type, by monotypy, Tringa pugnax Linneus.) 
Canutus [ANonymous] Allg. Lit.-Zeitung, 1804, ii, no. 168, June 8, 1804, col. 
542. (Type, by monotypy and tautonymy, ‘“‘ Knot der Englischen Natur- 
forscher” = Tringa canutus Linnzeus.) 
Calidris [ANonymovus] Allg, Lit.-Zeitung, 1804, ii, no. 168, June 8, 1804, col. 
542. (Type, by tautonymy, Tringa calidris, no authority cited, but proba- 
bly the species so named in Bechstein’s Taschenbuch, p. 308.) 
In the preparation of the synonymies of this volume it was not 
possible to verify references taken, ‘‘at second hand,” from a con- 
siderable number of works cited, of which the following constitute 
the principal ones. Consequently, orthographies may,not always be
