128 U.S. NATIONAL MUSEUM BULLETIN 221 



' ' Since No. 54206 was the only adult from Petapa in the museum, it follows 

 that it must have been the example Nelson and/or Ridgway had in mind for 

 lectotypeship, and since Ridgway's name was accompanied by a full de- 

 scription, the specimen may be considered a valid type.

 317785. Female (immature?). Timorlaut (Tanimbar) Islands (between 

 Timor Island and New Guinea) , Arafura Sea. May 1883. Collected by 

 Riedel. Original number 7188 (on collector's label) or 7734 (on Dres- 

 , den type label). Received from the Staatliche Museen fiir Tier-und 

 Volkerkunde, Dresden, where it was No. 20402. 

 There were 11 specimens in Meyer's original series, of which (to judge 

 from the statement of Salvadori, Ornitologia della Papuasia e delle Molucche, 

 Aggiunte, p. 35, 1889) but four (three males, one female) were later labeled 

 as cotypes. Since this example bears the blue type label of the Dresden 

 Museum, on which appears the word "Cotypus," it is presumably the "fem- 

 mina giovane" mentioned by Salvadori.
