 85096. Adult male. Fort Randall, Gregory County, South Dakota. 



March 8, 1873. Collected by Elliott Coues. Original number 2745. 

 Tlie first appearance of this name is usually supposed to be in Coues, 

 Birds of the Northwest (p. 38, "1874"=1875) , but the reference given above, 

 dated "1873" and actually published in 1874, has priority. Information 

 on the type may be found in Birds of the Northwest, p. 39. 



No. 85096 was presented to the museum of Brown University on May 6, 

 1882, but was returned to the United States National Museum on November 

 1,1897. 



O[tocorys]. alpestris arenieola Henshaw 

 Auk 1 (3) : 259, 263, 265, July 1884. 

 =Eremophila alpestris leucolaema Coues. See Oberholser, Proc. U.S. 

 Nat. Mus. 24: 820, 1902; A.O.U. Committee on Classification and No- 

 menclature, Auk 64: 450, 1947. 

 67009. Adult male. Denver, Denver County, Colorado. May 9, 1873. 

 Collected by Henry W. Henshaw. Original number 30. Expedition 

 for Exploration West of the 100th Meridian. 

 351732. Adult male. Denver, Denver County, Colorado. May 9, 1873. 

 Collected by Henry W. Henshaw. Original number 29. Expedition for 

 Exploration West of the 100th Meridian. 

 Henshaw mentioned neither type nor type locality, but on page 263 

 referred to "16 males" and gave the range of arenieola as "Great Basin of 

 United States and Rocky mountains." Many years later, at Ridgway's re- 

 quest (see Birds of North and Middle America 4: 311 [footnote a], 1907), 

 he selected No. 67009 as the type, and since his original series must have con- 

 tained specimens of several different races, his choice of a Denver bird makes 

 a useful restriction of type locality. 



No. 351732 lay in the collection without an entry number until September 

 17, 1937. Inasmuch as its data are the same as for No. 67009, it is, from 

 my point of view, a cotype. 



Neither of these birds carries an original label: all data for No. 67009 

 are in Ridgway's hand, and all for No. 351732 were written by Riley.
