TYPE SPECIMENS OF BIRDS 345

 Proc. U.S. Nat. Mus. 51 : 59, Oct. 16, 1916. 

 =Parus elegans suluensis (Mearns). See Parkes, Proc. Biol. Soc. Wash- 

 ington 71: 104-105,1958.

 Islands. September 9, 1891. Collected by Dean C. Worcester and

 Melaniparus afer fricki Mearns 



Smithsonian Misc. Coll. 61 (20) : 5, Nov. 29, 1913. 

 =Parus afer fricki (Mearns). See Friedmann, U.S. Nat. Mus. Bull.

 245844. Adult male. Dire Dawa (lal. 9°35' N., long. 4P52' E.), eastern 

 Ethiopia. December 9, 1911. Collected by Edgar A. Mearns. Original

 Lophophanes missourieusis Baird 



in Baird, Cassin, and Lawrence, Rep. Expl. and Surv. R.R. Pac. 9: xxxvi, 

 384, 1858. 

 =Parus bicolor Linnaeus. See Hellmayr, Catalogue of birds of the 



Americas 7: 81, 1934. 

 6752. Adult (sex not indicated). Fort Leavenworth, Leavenworth County, 



Kansas. January 20, 1855. Collected by Darius N. Couch. 

 Since this form was given "the name of Lophophanes miss our iensis, from 

 the river on or near which all the specimens before me were collected," it is 

 easy to decide, from Baird's list of specimens, which are to be considered 

 cotypes. Of the five, No. 4731 was sent to A. J. Falls at a date no longer 

 known ; No. 6987 went to Henry W. Henshaw in March 1873 and may now 

 be in the British Museum; Nos. 4730 and 7514 seem to have vanished 

 without trace.
