 ings 2: 65, 1844; that specimen is still in Philadelphia as No. 1942. with 

 its label bearing the notation "first specimen for N. Amer." It is probably,

 others are unaccounted for. i

This form was originally described as from the "Pacific coast region from 

 southern Arizona to Sitka, Alaska," but no specimens were definitely men- 

 tioned. However, in "Birds of Alaska" (Arctic Series of Publications, Signal

 birds here listed are the types of henshatvi. There should obviously be more 

 than three cotypes, but in this case it is no longer possible to decide what 

 other material lay before the describer.
