336 U.S. NATIONAL MUSEUM BULLETIN 221 



9345. Adult female. San Francisco Mountains, Catron County, New 

 Mexico. October 11, 1851. Collected by Samuel W. Woodhouse. 

 Expedition down the Zuni and Colorado Rivers (1851). 

 Baird listed three specimens from New Mexico, and (doubtfully) a fourth 

 from "Mexico." Since this last was later to become the type of a distinct 

 race, Aphelocoma cyanotis Ridgway, it need not be considered here. The 

 third true cotype of ivoodhouseii. No. 5035, from Independence Springs, was 

 sent in February 1861 to Adolphus L. Heermann; its present whereabouts is 

 unknown.

 A[phelocoma]. cyanotis Ridgway 



Manual North American birds, p. 357, September 1887. 

 =Aphelocoma coerulescens cyanotis Ridgway. See Hellmayr, Catalogue 



of birds of the Americas 7: 55, 1934. 



8465. Adult (sex not indicated). "Mexico." September 1836. Collected 



by — Morgan ? Received from John Gould, who acquired it from John 



Taylor. 



The oldest label attached to this specimen is Gould's; its data read: "John 



Taylor Esq/Mexico/Sep 1836." Reference to "Taylor (J.)" in Bowdler 



Sharpe's History of the Collections ... of the British Museum, Birds (p. 



497, 1906), will show that, in 1841, Taylor presented to the British Museum 



"21 birds from Mexico," and Sharpe comments: "A MS. note by Dr. J. E. 



Gray adds: 'Who received them from Mr. Morgan, of the Rio del Monte 



Camp.' They were examined and said to be described by Mr. Swainson." 



It seems probable that the 19 skins, attributed to Taylor and presented to 



the U.S. National Museum by Gould about 1857, have an identical history, 



and Real del Monte, State of Hidalgo, might be accepted as the restricted 



type locality.
