TYPE SPECIMENS OF BIRDS 435 



Genus CICHLHERMINIA Bonaparte 



Margarops dominicensis Lawrence 



Forest and Stream 14 (9): 165, Mar. 27, 1880 [author's reprint]. 

 =Cichlherminia Vherminieri dominicensis (Lawrence) . See Hellmayr, 



Catalogue of birds of the Americas 7: 451, 1934. 

 77799. Aduh male. Dominica Island, Leeward Islands, Caribbean Sea. 

 Entered into the museum register on Apr. 23, 1879. Collected by 

 Frederick A. Ober. Original number 92. 

 Lawrence based this form upon a series of five males, but mentioned that 

 the type was in the collection of the United States National Museum. Only 

 two of the specimens are now here, and No. 77799 alone bears the word 

 "Type" in Lawrence's hand, so the other four were evidently considered by 

 him mere paratypes. 



Lawrence's name is generally cited from Proc. U.S. Nat. Mus. 3: 16, 

 April ? 1880, but in fact it appeared earlier in "Forest and Stream," as given 

 above, on Apr. 1, 1880, and the author's separate, dated March 27, was 

 received by Ridgway in Washington on March 30. The description in 

 the Proc. U.S. Nat. Mus. is an almost exact duplication of the one in "Forest 

 and Stream"; the only changes are from "centers" to "centres," and from 

 "black terminal spot" (as intended by Lawrence) to "light terminal spot." 



Genus MIMOCICHLA Sclater 



Miniocichla rubripes eremita Ridgway 



Proc. Biol. Soc. Washington 18: 213, Oct. 17, 1905. 

 =Mimocichla plumbea rubripes (Temminck). See Bond, Checklist of 



birds of the West Indies, ed. 3, p. 118, 1950. 

 111219. Adult male. Swan Island, Caribbean Sea at lat. IT'SO' N., long. 

 84°00'W. Feb. 4, 1887. Collected by Charles H. Townsend. Original 

 number 1777. 

 Mimocichla schistacea Baird 



Review of American birds 1 : 35 (in key) , 37, July 1864. 

 =Mimocichla plumbea schistacea Baird. See Bond, Checklist of birds 



of the West Indies, ed. 3, p. 118, 1950. 

 17713. Adult male. Monte Verde, Province of Oriente, Cuba. Entered 

 into the museum register on July 21, 1860. Collected by Charles 

 Wright. 

 Although Baird based his detailed description upon No. 17713, through 

 inadvertence he wrote the word "Type" on the label of No. 17712 (not 

 17112) , the exceptional skin with "dirty whitish thighs."
