TYPE SPECIMENS OF BIRDS 35 



Genus ANAS Linnaeus 



Anas aberti "(Ridg., MS.)" Ridgway 



Proc. U.S. Nat. Mus. 1 : 250, between December 24, 1878, and February 

 5, 1879.

 This specimen was entered into the museum register on July 23, 1859, but 

 it had formerly been part of the collection of the National Institute of 

 Science, an organization of which Col. Abert had been one of the founders. 

 No record has been found of the date of collection of his Mazatlan material. 

 Anas superciliosa percna Riley 



Proc. Biol. Soc. Washington 32: 93, May 20, 1919. 

 =Anas superciliosa rogersi Mathews. See Amadou, Amer. Mus. Nov. 



No. 1237: 3, 1943. 

 250631. Adult male. Kulawi, on the Palu River above Palu, at the 

 western base of the northern peninsula, Celebes. February 3, 1917. 

 Collected by Harry C. Raven. Original number 3506. 

 Anas obscura, var. fulvigula Ridgway 



American Naturalist 8: 111, February 1874. 

 =Anas fulvigula fulvigula Ridgway. See Peters, Checklist of birds of 



the world 1: 161,1931. 

 84710. Adult male. "Dummitt's" (not St. Johns River), the collector's 

 camp on the Indian River "just north of the Haulover Canal and about 

 a mile and a half from the famous Dummitt's Grove on Mosquito 

 Lagoon," Brevard County, Florida (see Howell, Florida Bird Life, 

 p. 15, 1932). "March" 1872. Collected by Charles J. Maynard. 

 Original number 7241. Received from Robert Ridgway, in whose 

 collection it was No. 1748. 

 The oldest label is Ridgway's; it gives the place of collection as "Dum- 

 mits" and the date as "Mar. 1872." The latter is probably an erroneous 

 copying of May 1872, for Maynard {fide Howell, who obtained his informa- 

 tion from Maynard) spent only April and May of 1872 at Dummitt's Grove.
