before it for consideration they were for some reason not entered in the 

 Hypothetical List although others with no better claim were so entei'ed, such 

 as Baird's Flycatcher, Myiodynastes hairdi (Gambel) (Journ. Acad. Nat. 

 Phila. I, Pt. 1, 1847, 40), a specimen alleged to have been taken in California 

 and Morton's Finch Brachyspiza mortoni (Audubon) (Orn. Biog. V, 1839, 

 312) said to have been taken in Oregon but undoubtedly from Chile, etc., etc.

 has not overlooked these occurrences though it is not considered that they 

 have any place in the Check List.

 of the Check-List and which have been either cancelled or removed to the
