530 U.S. NATIONAL MUSEUM BULLETIN 221 



58247. Adult (sex not indicated). Entered into the museum register in 



July 1869. Other data same as No. 50799. 

 Lawrence based his Parula insularis upon a composite series from the 

 Tres Marias and Socorro Island, but stated that the type was No. 50796, 

 from the Tres Marias. Ridgway, describing the race of Socorro Island, 

 mentioned that he had the same material as had been examined by Lawrence 

 in 1871, and this, according to Lawrence himself, was a series of eight, all 

 except No. 50804 unsexed. The cotypes of Ridgway's graysoni must ac- 

 cordingly be found among these eight. 



In addition to the skins listed above, Lawrence had Nos. 50798 and 

 50801, which have vanished from the collection without trace. If their dis- 

 appearance took place prior to September 1887, they can obviously not be 

 considered part of Ridgway's original series, and therefore do not possess 

 cotypeship. 



No. 50803 was at some time made the lectotype by Ridgway himself, 

 probably during the writing of volume 2 of "Birds of North and Middle 

 America" (published in 1902), but it is in fact only one of the cotypes. 



The labels of Nos. 50800, 50803, and 50804 carry the word "Type" in 

 pencil, but this is in Lawrence's hand and has to do with the penciled words 

 "insularis, Lawr." on the opposite face. The original label of No. 50799 

 may also have had these words, but the oldest label now attached to the skin 

 is that of Robert Ridgway!
