present, the typical Leucopolius having the bill long and the tarsus short, 
and the subgenus Helenaegialis Mathews having both the bill and tarsus 
long, and neither of these two subgenera having a rufous chest- 
band. 
ChavadHus + Aegialitis pecuavia + varius — Leucopolius {Helenaegialis) varius 
(cf. Mathews, idem, p. 114 = pe cuarius Temm. (cf. Sclater, Bull. Brit. Ovn. 
Cl. XLii. 72, 1922). 
Aegialitis hiaticula = Charadvius hiaticula (cf. idem, p. 123). 
Chavadrius + Aegialitis + Oxyechus tricollaris = Afvoxechustricollayis {ci.idem, 
p. 124). 
Stephanihyx melanopterus = S. melanopterus minor Zedlitz (/. fur Ovn., 1910, 
p. 309). 
5 . inornatus — S. lugubris (Lesson) (of. Ibis, 1915, p. 56). 
Both these species should be removed to another subgenus, differing 
as they do in having a shorter tarsus, a different style of coloration, the 
bill unicoloured (instead of red at the base) when compared with Stephani- 
byx coronatus, the type of the genus, side by side with which melanopterus 
is sometimes found during the breeding season. 
Recurvirostridae 
Himantopus = Hypsibates (cf. Mathews, B. Australia, in. 144). 
SCOLOPACIDAE 
Numenius phaeopus = Phaeopus phaeopus (cf. Mathews, l.c. p. 175). 
Limosa lapponica = Vetola lapponica (cf. idem, p. 191). 
This species has been recorded from Durban by E. C. Chubb (J. S. Afr. 
Orn. Un. vii. 80), as also the species Limosa limosa (xi. 19) ; Finch-Davies 
has also secured a specimen of the former species at Walvis Bay on the 
west coast. 
Totanus stagnatilis = Iliornis stagnatilis (cf. Mathews, l.c. p. 197). 
Totanus + Helodromus ochropus = Tringa ochropus (cf. idem, pp. 202 and 
205). 
Totanus f us cus = Erythroscelis fuscus (cf. idem, p. 198). 
Totanus + Tringoides hypoleucos = Actitis hypoleucus (cf. idem, p. 214). 
Totanus calidris = T. totanus (L. 1758). 
Totanus + Glottis littoreus + glottis + nebularius = Glottis nebularius (cf. idem, 
p. 224). 
Totanus glareola = Rhyacophilus glareola (cf. idem, p. 229). 
Totanus + Pavoncella + Machetes pugnax = Philomachus pugnax (cf. Mathews 
and Iredale, Austral. Av. Rec. in. 117). 
Calidris arenaria — Crocethialeucophaea (Vroeg, 1764) {ct.yL 3 .t\iews,B. Australia, 
III. 243, Mathews and Iredale, Austral. Av. Rec. in. 114) = alba Pallas 
(cf. Ibis, 1921, p. 311). 
Tringa + Limonites minuta = Pisobia minuta (cf. Mathews, B. Australia, in. 
245)- 
Tringa + Ancylochilus subarquata + ferruginea = Erolia ferruginea (cf. idem, 
p. 264). 
Tringa canutus + Canutus canutus = Calidris canutus (cf. idem, p. 269 and 
VIII. Part V, p. xiii). 
Gallinago major = Capella media (cf. Mathews and Iredale, Austral. Av. Rec. 
IV. 131).
