In History _of North American Birds (vol. iii, pp. 28-30) I adopted for the Great Gray 

 Owl (Strix cinerea, Gmel.) the subgeneric name Scotiaptex, Swains., baaed upon this species, 

 and on p. 8 of these Proceedings raised the same name to generic rank. A subsequent exam- 

 ination of Strix uralensis, Pallas, however, reveals the fact that the latter is strictly con- 

 generic with S. cinerea and S. tapponica, and having been made the type of a genus Ulula 

 by Cuvier, in 1817, the latter name must take precedence over Scotiaptex, which was not 

 founded until 1831.
