 =Vireo griseus perquisitor Nelson. See Hellmayr, Catalogue of birds 



of the Americas 8 : 114, 1935. 

 164084. Adult male. Papantla, State of Veracruz, Mexico. Mar. 12,

 Lanivireo crassiroslris H. Bryant 



Proc. Boston Soc. Nat. Hist. 7: 112 (not earlier than September), 1859. 

 =Vireo crassiroslris crassiroslris (Bryant). See Bond, Check-list of 



birds of the West Indies, ed. 3, p. 125, 1950. 

 13508. Adult (sex not indicated). Nassau, New Providence Island, 

 Bahama Islands. April (not May) 1859. Collected by Henry Bryant. 

 Bryant had three cotypes, two males and one female, of which a male was 

 taken in March, and "a pair" in "May." Two males now in the Museum 

 of Comparative Zoology (where they are Nos. 46779 and 46780) were re- 

 spectively collected on April 10 and March 20. Our specimen, labeled as 

 having been shot in April 1859, must then be the female, with Bryant's 

 description of which it agrees. 

 V[ireo]. crassiroslris flavescens Ridgway

 Commission.

Ridgway based this name upon a long series of cotypes, from Conception 

 Island, Cat Island, Green Cay, Rum Cay, and Eleuthera Island, but in a 

 footnote inferentially restricted the type localities to Rum Cay and Concep- 

 tion Island. Even if specimens from these islands alone were to be listed 

 here, we should have to deal with not less than 15 cotypes. Finally, how- 

 ever, Ridg^vay (Birds of North and Middle America 3: 192, 1904) further 

 restricted the type locality to Conception Island, and at that time set aside 

 No. 107780 as a lectotype. In accordance with procedure followed in other 

 similar cases, I give here all the topotypical cotypes from the restricted 

 locality. In addition to the three in Washington, there is a female (formerly 

 No. 107778), with similar data, sent to the American Museum of Natural 

 History, New York, on Dec. 3, 1890.
