 Salvin (Proc, Zool. Soc. London, for 1866:68, 1866) writes: "I have 

 recently compared Dr. Sclater's types of C. maculatus with my specimens 

 of C. dryas." This indicates that the series lent Sclater by the brothers 

 Verreaux consisted of more than one skin, and that two or more were re- 

 tained by Sclater, even though no such birds are listed under maculatus in 

 his "Catalogue of a collection of American birds" (p. 1, 1862), or in "Cata- 

 logue of the birds in the British Museum" (5: 205, 1881) . Our No. 32683, 

 purchased from the Maison Verreaux as a type (see Baird, Review of Ameri- 

 can birds 1: 10 footnote, 1864, may well be one of Sclater's original 

 series, but it is no longer possible to adduce evidence for this view.
