 Campylorhynclms jocosus Sclater 



Proc. Zool. Soc. London 27 (3) : 371, February 1860. 

 =Campylorhynchus jocosus jocosus Sclater. See Hellmayr, Catalogue of 

 birds of the Americas 7: 150, 1934; A.O.U. Committee on Classifica- 

 tion and Nomenclature, Auk 64: 451, 1947. 

 22381. Adult female. "Mexique." Entered into the museum register on 



October 26, 1861. Purchased from Verreaux Freres. 

 As is usually the case with birds that entered the hands of the brotliers 

 Verreaux, this specimen lacks an original label and many pertinent data; 

 the word "type" alone serves as an indication of its potential status. 



In justification of my claim for No. 22381, the following facts may be 

 adduced : C. jocosus was established by Sclater upon two skins, a male and a 

 female, "procured by M. Boucard at Oaxaca in March 1858," and submitted 

 to his examination by Salle. Of these, only one entered Sclater's private 

 collection (see Catalogue of a collection of American birds belonging to 

 Philip Lutley Sclater, p. 17, May 1862). Although Sclater there calls his 

 specimen "type," reference to the original description shows that each of 

 the two became an equivalent cotype. Our bird is at least presumptively one 

 of these.
