 Ridgway, at the original description of this form, stated that 17 specimens, 

 from Abaco and New Providence Islands, had been examined, but desig- 

 nated no one of them as the type. Subsequently (possibly in 1904 during 

 preparation of the third part of The Birds of North and Middle America), 

 he made No. 108655 the lectotype. I consider this action a mere restriction 

 of type locality and here list all of the original series as equivalent cotypes.
