WYOMING Birps. 83 
HYPOTHETICAL LIST 
A few records are not sufficiently well authenticated to 
warrant their being placed in the regular list, so are placed 
here. 
133. Anas rubripes: Black Duck. 
Hunters who were familiar with this duck in the east re- 
ported to Mr. Lockwood that they had taken specimens 
near Laramie. 
174. Branta nigricana: Black Brant. 
Our only record of this bird is from Clearwaters, who re- 
ports that he saw a small flock that was probably of this 
species. Hie did not secure a specimen. 
215. Coturnicops noveboracensis: Yellow Rail. 
Blackwelder records birds which he says appeared to be of 
this species, but none were taken, so the record is ques-

310a. Meleagris gallepavo silvestris: Wild Turkey. 
Clearwaters records that he has seen a specimen which 
bore a tag, probably in Knight’s handwriting, which indi- 
cated that the specimen was taken near the southern bound-

abount 25 miles south of the Wyoming boundary. 
337. Buteo berealis harlani: MHarlan’s Hawk. 
Lockwood reports one or two specimens. 
356b. Faleo perigrinus pealei: Peale’s Falcon. 
Mr. Lockwood reports having mounted a well-marked spec-

rectness of his determination because of lack of proper 
means for determination at hand. 
368. Strix varia variat: Barred Owl. 
The records of this Owl in Wyoming are very unsatisfac- 
tory. Clearwaters reports that there is a mounted speci- 
men at Newcastle, which is said to have been taken near 
there. In April, 1912, Walker observed an Owl in the Med-
