TYPE SPECIMENS OF BIRDS 39 



Cathartes Urubulinga "Natterer" von Pelzeln 



Sitzungsber. Akad. Wiss., Wien (Math.-Naturw. Classe) 44: 7, 1861. 

 =Cathartes urubutinga von Pelzeln. See Peters, Checklist of birds of 



the world 1:191, 1931. 

 34984. Adult (sex not indicated). Brazil. Collected by Johann 

 Natterer. Original number 3. Received from the Naturhistorisches 

 Museum, Vienna. 

 Natterer had nine specimens, adult and immature, from Sapitiba, Irisanga, 

 and Forte do Rio Branco; the rest of the cotypes are, so far as is known, 

 still deposited in the museum at Vienna. Since the original label is lost, 

 and full data were not copied into the museum register, it will probably 

 never be possible to trace by elimination the provenience and date of this 

 specimen.
