Barbara County, California {fide Nuttall, Manual Orn., ed. 2, p. 236, 



1840). April 1836. Collected by Thomas Nuttall. Received from 



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



A MS. note by Richmond reads: "Nuttall got the bird in Mch. or April, 



1836, & got back to Boston on Sept. 21, 1836. For Audubon to get this skin, 



describe and paint it, have it engraved & published in 1836 would have 



required quick work. Prob. publ. in 1837."

 1857. 

 =Garrulus glandarius fasciatus (A. E. Brehm). See Hartert, Nov. Zool. 



25:9, 1918. 

 98563. Adult female. Sierra Nevada, Spain. November 21, 1856. Col- 

 lected by Alfred E. Brehm. Received from Leonhard H. Stejneger (in 

 whose private collection it was No. 313), who acquired it from Wilhelm 

 Schliiter, a dealer in Halle an der Saale. 

 Hartert {loc. cit.), writing of an adult male formerly in the Rothschild 

 Collection, now in the American Museum of Natural History, states: "This 

 is undoubtedly the type specimen, it being called on the label the real 

 fasciatus, and a description added." 



The same author has, however, earlier informed us (Zoologische Annalen 

 3:66, 1908) that in the Brehm Collection "befinden sich ausser zwei 

 Spaniern auch mehrere deutsche und andre Haher als fasciatus bezeichnet." 

 It seems clear that the notation "the real fasciatus" was written some time 

 after publication of the name, to indicate that it had been given to the 

 Spanish, and not to the German and other specimens. 



The original label of Alfred E. Brehm, still attached to our skin, reads: 

 "Glandarius vulgaris fasci-/atus nobis $ 21. 11. 56. Sier-/ra nevada." There 

 is no reason to suppose that this, and the two Spanish birds examined by 

 Hartert, are not equivalent cotypes. 



Brehm's paper has not been available to me, but has been seen by the late 

 Charles W. Richmond. While Hartert quotes the name as "Garrulus gar- 

 rulus fasciatus," Richmond's card gives it as "G[landarius'\. garrulus 

 fasciatus."
