TYPE SPECIMENS OF BIRDS 61 



Pedioccetes Kennicotli Suckley 



Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. Philadelphia, p. 361 (not earlier than November 

 26), 1861. 

 =Pedioecetes phasianellus kennicotti (Suckley). See Friedmann, Journ. 



Washington Acad. Sci. 33: 191, 1943. 

 22869. Adult (sex not indicated). Fort Rae (on the eastern shore of the 

 North Arm of Great Slave Lake), Mackenzie District, Northwest Terri- 

 tories, Canada. November 15, 1860. Collected by Lawrence Clarke, 

 Jr. Original number 102. 

 Museum records show that Suckley must have seen literally dozens of 

 examples of this bird from Fort Rae and Big Island, but almost all have 

 vanished without trace. The present specimen (now mounted in the ex- 

 hibition collection) was entered into the museum register some time between 

 October 26 and December 26, 1861, and is probably one of the cotypes. 

 Pedioecetes pliasianelliis campestris Ridgway 

 Proc. Biol. Soc. Washington 2: 93, April 10, 1884. 

 76743. Adult male, Illinois. 1847. Received from the American 

 Museum of Natural History (from the Daniel Giraud Elliott Col- 

 lection?). 

 Ridgway based this form upon two specimens, one of which, No. 19173, 

 from Montana, is now considered to be an example of Pedioecetes phasia- 

 nellus jamesi Lincoln.
