tion of type locality. Parenthetically, it may be noted that Ridgway, in 

 1887, gave his new form the vernacular name "California Crow." 



I have listed here as cotypes the two specimens of the original series from 

 Fort Klamath still to be found in the museum collection. 

 Corviis brachyrhynchos C. L. Brehm 

 Beitrage zur Vogelkunde 2: 37, 56, 1822. 

 =Corvus brachyrhynchos brachyrhynchos C. L. Brehm. See A.O.U., 



Checklist of North American birds, ed. 4, p. 226, 1931. 

 217866. Subadult female. "America septentrionalis" (type locality re- 

 stricted to "vicinity of Boston, Massachusetts," by Howell, Proc. Biol. 

 Soc. Washington 26:200, 1913). Received from Otto Kleinschmidt, 

 who acquired it from the Rothschild Museum, Tring. 

 Brehm's original label reads: "Corvus americanus/ $ annua America/ 

 septentrionalis." 



On one of his own labels Kleinschmidt has written: "s[iehe] Beitrage II. 

 p. 56-58! Da Brehm den Namen americanus in V[ollstandige] Vogelfang 

 p. 57 in Klammer hersetzt, ist dies wohl d[er]. Typus von Corvus 

 brachyrhynchos Brm." 

 Corvus americanus Audubon 



Birds of America (folio) 2 (32) : pi. 156, 1833. 

 =Corvus brachyrhynchos brachyrhynchos Brehm. See Ridgway, Birds 



of North and Middle America 3 : 746, 1904. 

 2848. Adult (sex not indicated). Received from Spencer F. Baird, who 



acquired it from John J. Audubon. 

 By museum tradition. No. 2848 is a cotype of Audubon's Corvus ameri- 

 canus. There is nothing whatsoever to lend confirmation to this belief, and 

 I list the specimen here only because it has for many years been kept among 

 the types.

 Proc. Biol. Soc. Washington 26 : 199, Oct. 23, 1913.

 ceived from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
