1860) on the margin of Plate LXXXI, for the lower figure of which it served 

 as model, 'Type of Nuttall?" Since Nuttall {op. cit. p. 401) has mentioned 

 that he had only one specimen from which to describe the species, and No. 

 2040 still bears Townsend's own label, it may be assumed that it is indeed 

 the type, and that it is a female collected on June 10, 1835, as stated at 

 Nuttall's original description.

 In a letter of the Deane Collection at the Library of Congress, from 

 Robert Kennicott to his younger sister, Alice Mary Kennicott (1844-1919), 

 is found the following passage: "Among my birds is one pretty little thrush 

 which is new. The first specimen collected you skinned. Hoy called it 

 Turdus solitarius but he is wrong. Prof. Baird names it T. alicea. Its a 

 pretty little bird and I was very glad to have Prof. Baird name it for you. 

 I think it is rather common. It is one of the smallest of the Thrushes and 

 you could probably get a lot about the first of May. Don't neglect work 

 in the house for bird skinning tho'."
