Note on the Name Colinus. — Dr. Stejneger has recently called my 
attention to the use of the name Colinus by Goldfuss, whose refer- 
ence has several years’ priority over that of Lesson. The proper citation 
for this genus would appear to be : Goldfuss, Handbuch der Zoologie,^ II, 
1820, 220; the type is mexicana, CjAVot de la Louisiana, PI. Enl. 
iiQ ’ which is synonymized with Tetrao virginianus Linn.— C has^ W. 
Rxchmono, Washington, D. C. Auk, XIX, Jan., 1902, p. n
