No. 70038 became part of the private collection of Robert Ridgway, at 

 which time its original label was removed, and the data were copied only 

 in part onto Ridgway's own label. When the specimen was returned to 

 the museum in 1880, it was entered into the register as though part of an 

 entirely new accession, with the new number 80430. 



No. 70039 suffered the misfortune of spending many years as part of 

 the exhibition collection ; its coronal patch has become white, and the general 

 coloration of the upper parts has faded to a brownish gray.
