April, 1918] The Ravens of North America 219 



Ontario, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Newfoundland, and 

 even the southern Labrador coast are intermediate between 

 the bird from the southern Allegheny Mountains and Corvus 

 corax principalis, but seem to be decidedly nearer the southern 

 form. Those from Michigan and Minnesota are in like manner 

 intermediate, but verge also somewhat toward Corvus corax 

 siuuatus, though they average nearer Corvus corax europhilus. 



There is apparently no name available for this race, as 

 Corvus carnivoriis Baird,^ adopted from Bartram, is clearly a 

 synonym of Corvus corax sinuatus, as explained under that 

 race. 2 



Detailed measurements of specimens are given in the 

 table on pages 216-217.
