TYPE SPECIMENS OF BIRDS 261 



G[rallaria]. intermedia Ridgway 



Proc. U.S. Nat. Mus. 6 : 406 (footnote) , April 26, 1884. 

 =Grallaria perspicillata intermedia Ridgway. See Hellinayr, Catalogue 



of birds of the Americas 3 : 353, 1924. 

 47484. Adult male. Angostura, Province of Cartago, Costa Rica. Jan- 

 uary 9, 1867. Collected by Julian Carmiol. 

 64718. Adult (sex not indicated). Costa Rica=( probably) Sipurio (see 

 Carriker, Ann. Carnegie Mus. 6: 354, 1910), "Talamanca," Costa Rica 

 or Panama (contested territory). 1873 (entered into the museum reg- 

 ister on November 4), Collected by Jose Castulo Zeledon. Original 

 number 591. Received from William M. Gabb. 

 This form was based upon only two specimens, one from Angostura, the 

 other from "Talamanca"; at the original description, neither was set up as 

 the type, but at some later date Ridgway himself wrote *'Grallaria inter- 

 media Ridgw." on a red type label, which was attached to No. 47484 from 

 Angostura. Notwithstanding this decision, still later (Birds of North and 

 Middle America 5: 157, 1911), the type locality is given simply as "Tala- 

 manca," thus automatically making No. 64718 the type. The two examples 

 in question are unmistakably of the same race, and are here treated as 

 equivalent cotypes.
