 [Certhiola] barbadensis Baird 



in Ridgway, American Naturalist 7 (10) : 612 [p. 11 in reprint]

57437. Adult? (sex not indicated). Barbados Island, Windward Islands, 

 Caribbean Sea. Entered into the museum register on June 27, 1869. 

 Collected by A. Wildeboer. 



57438. Immature (sex not indicated). Same data as No. 57437. 



57439. Adult (sex not indicated). Same data as No. 57437. 



57440. Adult (sex not indicated). Same data as No. 57437. 



The late Charles W. Richmond set aside No. 57439 as a lectotype, with a 

 MS. note that reads as follows: "Baird usually wrote 'type' on the label, but 

 orig.? label not on this bird. Exam, also nos. 57437-8 & 57440." Rich- 

 mond went on to examine the three others, writing on each label: "one of 

 the original skins." Not finding the word "type" on any one of these, he 

 must have assumed that it had appeared on the lost label of No. 57439, 

 which accordingly became his lectotype. 



It should be supposed, however, that Baird had not written "type" on 

 the label of No. 57439, since this is just the one of the four that entered 

 Ridgway's private collection by exchange. The lack of an original label 

 is due to this fact; the oldest label now attached to No. 57439 is Ridgway's 

 own. 



In the circumstances, all four are here listed as equivalent cotypes.
