TYPE SPECIMENS OF BIRDS 349 



No. 91643 was long ago made the lectotype, apparently because it was 

 the one first listed at the original description. Although restriction of type 

 locality to Shasta County may be justified on zoological grounds, it is never- 

 theless certain that, had any example been made the type at the time of de- 

 scription, it would have been one of the fresh-plumaged birds from "Walker's 

 basin," in Kern County. 



Nos. 71918, 71924, and 71935 have all at some time formed part of 

 Ridgway's private collection and, as a result, have been divested of their 

 original labels.

 Reference to Baird, in Baird, Cassin, and Lawrence, Rep. Expl. and Surv. 

 R.R. Pac. 9:399, 1858, Avill show that two specimens came from "Little 

 Colorado." Of these. No. 6775, taken on December 18, 1853, was sent in 

 1859 to Percy L. Sclater and is probably now in the collection of the British 

 Museum. No. 33003, taken on "November" [sic] 18, 1853, was not entered 

 into the museum register until March 22, 1864, and thus may have been 

 unavailable to Baird in 1854; since, however, although without a number, 

 it was listed by Baird {loc. cit.) as early as 1858, one may suppose that it 

 lay before him in 1854 and has an equivalent claim with No. 6775 to 

 cotypeship.

Cruz or Pima County, Arizona. June 23, 1884. Collected by Edward 



W. Nelson. Original number 175.
