to this country for examination and "Mr. Ridgway . . . told me that my 

 specimen exactly agreed with a skin belonging to the U.S. National Museum

 1887). 



In sum, if No. 42539 may properly be considered a type at all, it is the 

 type solely of Ridgway 's name. I deal with it here chiefly because its red 

 label shows that the late C. W. Richmond accepted it as the type of *'Iache 

 lawrencei Ridgw."
