38: 266, 1932; Peters, Checklist of birds of the world 1: 232, 1931. 

 8525. Adult male. Near Mountain VicAV, Santa Clara County, California 

 (see Cooper, Ornithology of California, p. 473, 1870). November 10, 

 1855 (not October 1856). Collected by James G. Cooper. Original 

 number 51.

 description was April 25, 1857. The same author (Condor 32: 259-260, 

 1930) has written an exhaustive study of this type. 

 Buteo lineatus alleni Ridgway

 Onychotes gruberi Ridgway 



Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. Philadelphia, p. 149 (not earlier tlian Decem- 

 ber 27), 1870 (=1871?). 

 =Buteo solitarius Peaie. See Grinnell, Univ. California Publ. Zool. 



38: 315, 1932. 

 41703. Adult in dark phase (sex not indicated). "California"=Hawaii 

 Island, Hawaiian Islands, Oceania? Entered into the museum register 

 on April 7, 1866. Received from Ferdinand Gruber. 

 As has been shown by Grinnell [loc. cit.), the provenience of this specimen 

 must be held doubtful. It was one of a lot of ten birds received from 

 Gruber and entered into the register by Baird. One, a Myiarchus sp,, came 

 from "Guatemala"; two, including No, 41703, came from "California," and 

 Baird queried the locality given for the hawk; the others came from "San 

 Francisco," and one of them, a Rallus sp., has no less than three queries 

 inserted by Baird after locality.
