In the first description, Ridgway gave a list of Costa Rican localities 

 whence his material came, but mentioned no individual specimen. The 

 first restriction of type locality appears in Cory, Catalogue of birds of the 

 Americas 2(2) : 453 (footnote c), 1919, where it is stated, fide Ridgway, 

 that the type came from Talamanca. Since the specimen concerned. No. 

 64872, was presumably selected subsequently to the description, it is here 

 treated simply as a cotype, as are all others of the original series from the 

 same locality.

Hist. 36:354, 1917. 

 21752. Adult female. Turbo (a small village on the eastern shore of the 



Gulf of Uraba at lat. 8°06' N., long. 76^41' W.), Department of An- 



tioquia, Colombia. 1857 or 1858. Collected by Charles J. Wood and 



William S. Wood, Jr. Original number 340. U.S. Survey of the Rio 



Atrato. 

 Cassin's series was composed of three specimens, of which No. 21751, a 

 female from Turbo, and No. 21753, a male from the Rio Atrato, are now 

 respectively Nos. 19547 and 19548 in the collection of the Academy of 

 Natural Sciences of Philadelphia. 



Stone (Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. Philadelphia, for 1899, p, 32, 1899), without 

 all of the original material before him, capriciously set up the Philadelphia 

 male as the type, thus implicitly restricting the type locality to the middle or 

 upper Rio Atrato and making Cassin's name a synonym of Celeus I. loricatus 

 (Reichenbach), to which race the specimen in question belongs. This un- 

 fortunate circumstance has been brought to light by Meyer de Schauensee 

 (Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. Philadelphia 99: 115, 1947), who definitely restricted 

 the type locality to Turbo and validated Cassin's name for the coastal race. 

 In this case, the two females in Washington and Philadelphia continue to be 

 cotypes of Celeus I. mentalis.
