Peale referred simply to "specimens"; Cassin's MS. list and the entries in 

 our register indicate that there were no more than five. Richmond (MS.) 

 has noted that of these only Nos. 12668 and 15476 "can be considered as 

 approaching Peale's measurements." As usual, however, the published 

 measurements represent an average, and all five specimens have equivalent 

 standing as cotypes.
