 Vireo cassinii Xantus 



Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. Philadelphia 10: 117 (not earlier than May 25), 

 1858. 

 =Vireo solitarius cassinii Xantus. See Grinnell, Univ. California Publ. 



Zool. 38:299, 1932. 

 12403=10229 reentered. Adult (sex not indicated). Vicinity of Fort 

 Tejon, Kern County, California. Aug. 13-15, 1857. Collected by 

 John Xantus. Original number 479. 

 A MS. note of Richmond's reads as follows: "The type appears to have 

 been catalogued as 10229, to give Baird a number for his convenience. 

 This appears as the type in his 1858 v.'ork (p. 341), & in the Review of 

 Amer. Birds (p. 348), but no specimen '12403' is cited in either place. In 

 1858, Baird gave '479' as the orig. no. of '10229', & in the catal. entry of 

 12403 (made by him) no. '479' also appears as the collector's number. 

 Nos. 10229 and 12403 are therefore two entries for the same birdV 



Grinnell {loc. cit.), who personally examined the type specimen, has erred 

 in his interpretation of some of the data on the oldest label. His "orig. no. 

 [as written on original Xantus label], 2403" is in fact the museum register 

 number 12403 (with the first digit all but obliterated by the hole clipped 

 for threading the label), and is in Baird's handwriting. The number 479 

 is Xantus's original number, written by himself. 

 Vireo plumbeus Coues 



Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. Philadelphia 18: 74 (not earlier than Mar. 27), 

 1866. 

 =Vireo solitarius plumbeus Coues. See Hellmayr, Catalogue of birds 

 of the Americas 8: 128, 1935.
