TYPE SPECIMENS OF BIRDS 519 



41269. Adult male. Barranca (not San Jose), "on the edge of a small 



stream of the same name to the north of the road to San Carlos, and 



on the slopes of the Volcan de Poas, and with an altitude of not less 



than 6,000 feet, probably more" (see Carriker, Ann. Carnegie Mas. 



6: 335, 1910) , Province of Alajuela, Costa Rica. Sept. 30, 1865. Col- 



lected by Julian Carmiol. Original number 17. 



About 1870, this specimen entered the collection of Robert Ridgway, by 



"exchange," and became his No. 1283. At the same time, its original label 



was removed and presumably destroyed, to be replaced by a private label. 



Ridgway's own register gives the locality, correctly, as Barranca, but on his 



label it inexplicably appears as "San Jose," and this erroneous provenience 



was copied into the original description of costaricensis !
