TYPE SPECIMENS OF BIRDS 223 



which was presumably well founded. If the name appeared on tlie original 

 edition of the plate, and it was distributed, as is implied by Richmond's re- 

 mark, the name must of course date from July 8, 1885, rather than from 

 tlae date of publication of the verbal description. 



This specimen owes its continued existence to a curious mischance. It was 

 lent to Stejneger in 1885 (obviously prior to July 8), and had affixed a red 

 type label, on which Stejneger had crossed out the words "United States 

 National Museum" and "Smithsonian Institution," but had written "Tokio 

 Ed. Mus. 178." Through oversight, the bird was never returned, and was 

 only entered into our register on January 12, 1942, when it was turned up 

 among our own type specimens.
