 A[pheloconia]. calif ornica hypoleuca Ridgway 



Manual of North American birds, p. 356, September 1887. 

 =Aphelocoma coerulescens hypoleuca Ridgway. See Hellmayr, Catalogue 

 of birds of the Americas 7 : 53, 1934.

18. 1881. Collected by Lyman Belding. 



86326. Adult male. La Paz, State of Baja California, Mexico. January 



26. 1882. Collected by Lyman Belding. 



This form was "based on many specimens from Cape St. Lucas, La Paz, 

 and contiguous localities, collected by J. Xantus and L. Belding." Ridgway 

 (Birds of North and Middle America 3:331, 1904) restricted the type 

 locality to La Paz, and I have listed here the two skins of the original series 

 from that locality now to be found in the museum. 



No. 86326 is at present in the exhibition collection of mounted birds.
