TYPE SPECIMENS OF BIRDS 399 



Of these, eight came to the U.S. National Museum; No. 50814, not listed 

 above, was sent to George N. Lawrence on June 5, 1869, and is now in the 

 collection of the American Museum o£ Natural History, New York. The 

 remaining four specimens seem, according to Taylor, to have been sold by 

 Grayson and destined for persons in England. 



No. 50813, like many another important skin in the museum, entered the 

 private collection of Robert Ridgway, there to have its original label re- 

 moved and replaced by Ridgway 's own. 



Although all of Grayson's specimens are cotypes of his new race, No. 

 50810 alone is the type of Troglodytes insularis Lawrence, by his definite 

 designation at the original description.

 Baird's original series consisted of five specimens. No. 7139, a male from 

 Charco Escondido, Tamaulipas, seems to have vanished from the collection 

 without trace. A bird from Jalapa, the property of George N. Lawrence, 

 is perhaps now in the American Museum of Natural History.
