TYPE SPECIMENS OF BIRDS 23 



=Phalacrocorax {"Hypoleucus") varius varius (Gmelin). See Mathews, 



Systema avium australasianarum 1 : 226, 1927. 

 15680. Adult (sex not indicated). Bay of Islands, North Island, New 

 Zealand. Original number 708. U.S. Exploring Expedition (1838- 

 1842). 

 Cassin, synonymizing Carbo fucosus Peale with Carbo hypoleucus Brandt 

 {=Hydrocorax fuscescens Vieillot), referred to "several specimens," but 

 his MS. list indicates that he had only one, and there is likewise but one 

 entry for the species in the museum register. Unwittingly he had in fact 

 other specimens in the collection, but they were immature and were placed 

 by him under the separate heading of Carbo leucogaster (Gould), which 

 is nowadays also considered a synonym of Phalacrocorax fuscescens 

 (Vieillot).
