TYPE SPECIMENS OF BIRDS 311 



Riparia chineusis tantiUa Riley 



Proc. Biol. Soc. Washington 48: 147, Oct. 31, 1935. 

 =Riparia paludicola chineusis (J. E. Gray). See Mayr, in Delacour and 



Mayr, Zoologica, New York 30: 111, 1945; Delacour, Birds of the 



Philippines, p. 157, 1946. 

 210794. Adult male. Laoag River (below Padsan), Province of Ilocos 



Norte, Luzon Island, Philippine Islands. January 18, 1907. Collected 



by Edgar A. Mearns. Original number 14693. 



Genus PSALIDOPROCNE Cabanis 



Psalidoprocne Petiti Bowdler Sharpe 



in Bowdler Sharpe and Bouvier, Bull. Soc. Zool. France 1 : 38, col. pi. 

 2 (not earlier than July 7) , 1876. 

 =Psalidoprocne petiti petiti Bowdler Sharpe. See Sclater, Systema avium 



aethiopicarum 2: 588, 1930. 

 100580. Adult female. Landana, Territory of Cabinda, Congo District, 

 Angola. 1876? Collected by Louis Petit, fils. Original number 124. 

 Received from Richard Bowdler Sharpe. 

 This form was based upon two equivalent cotypes, male and female, 

 collected by Petit. At the original description neither dates nor localities 

 are given, but since the male listed as "Type of species" by Bowdler Sharpe 

 (Catalogue of the birds in the British Museum 10: 205, 1885) came from 

 Landana, we may suppose that the female had the same provenience. No 

 such female is listed by Sharpe (loc. cit.), and it is highly probable that our 

 bird represents the missing specimen. 



No. 100580 carries two similar tags. On one appears: " 9 /N° 124/" 

 [with a pen] "Landana/Cote oc-Afr/" [with a stamp] ; on the other: "L, 

 Petit, Aine [ ? ] /Naturaliste, Paris/" [with a stamp] "N° 283/" [with a pen] . 

 For explanation of my accrediting the name solely to Bowdler Sharpe, 

 see Sharpe's "History of the Collections contained in the Natural History 

 Departments of the British Museum, Birds," (pp. 441^42, 1906). 



Genus STELGIDOPTERYX Baird 



Hirundo serripeiinis Audubon 



Ornithological biography 4: 592, 593, 595, 1838. 

 =Stelgidopteryx ruficollis serripennis (Audubon). See Hellmayr, Cata- 

 logue of birds of the Americas 8: 47, 1935. 

 2899. Adult (sex not indicated). Near Charleston, Charleston County, 

 South Carolina, Collected by John J. Audubon. Received from Spen- 

 cer F. Baird, who acquired it from John J, Audubon. 

 It is not possible to affirm how many cotypes of this form were possessed 

 by Audubon. The specimen before me carries Audubon's original label, 

 with the words "Hirundo serripennis./Charleston, S. Carolina." Baird has 

 written upon his own label: "Type of Aud."
