 The six specimens here listed were all named as types at the first descrip- 

 tion, and each bears the word "Tj'pe" on the label in Stejneger's hand; it 

 was evidently his desire to have represented in the type series as many 

 states of plumage as possible. The two females, however, come into the 

 diagnosis only by measurements and should probably be treated as mere para- 

 types. The only male in full summer dress (and thus agreeing with the de- 

 scription even to the blackish abdomen) is No. 89062, which might therefore 

 be considered the type.
