TYPE SPECIMENS OF BIRDS 153 



are now held to belong to a distinct form, it follows that only the material 

 from the first-named three islands can be considered cotypes of spilonota. 

 The present resting place of the bird from Cebu is unknown. 



Genus GYMNOGLAUX Cabanis 



Gymnoglaux lawrencii P. L. Sclater and Salvin 



Proc. Zool. Soc. London, pp. 327, 328, pi. 29 and text-fig., October 

 1868. 

 =Gymnoglaux lawrencii lawrencii P. L. Sclater and Salvin. See Peters, 



Checklist of birds of the world 4: 146, 1940. 

 23557. Immature? female. Monte Verde (16.5 miles northeast of Guan- 

 tanamo), Province of Oriente, Cuba. August 24, 1861. Collected by 

 Charles Wright. 

 39111. Adult (sex not indicated). Remedios, Province of Santa Clara, 



Cuba. October 30, 1863. Collected by Nathaniel H. Bishop. 

 It might be argued that Sclater and Salvin have merely renamed Gymno- 

 glaux nudipes of Lawrence, not of Daudin (Ann. Lye. Nat. Hist. New York 

 7: 275, 1860), in which case the cotypes of their name would be the three 

 specimens from Gundlach's collection examined by Lawrence. Each of the 

 examples here listed, however, bears on its label, in the hand of Sclater or 

 Salvin, the words *^Gymnoglaux lawTencii, Sol. & Salv./Type."
