| Abstract: | Dr. C.B. Ticehurst classified separately the British razorbills from Swedish and Greenland birds under the name brittanica on account of their smaller size. This name was accepted by the British List Committee in 1937. It was later discovered that Iceland rozarbills were small in size like the British population and therefore Brehm's type of islandica, which had been obtained in southern Iceland in 1931, took precedence over britannica. |
