Dendroica graciae "Coues, mss." Baird 



Review of American birds 1 : 210, April 1865. 

 =Dendroica graciae graciae Baird. See Hellmayr, Catalogue of birds 



of the Americas 8: 400, 1935. 

 444024=36988 reentered. Adult male. Fort Whipple (near Prescott), 

 Yavapai County, Arizona. August 11, 1864. Collected by Elliott 

 Coues. Original number 534. 

 Although Hellmayr {loc. cit.) stated in 1935 that the type of Dendroica 

 gracice Baird was in the collection of the U.S. National Museum, it was in 

 fact sent in 1872 to Charles J. Maynard and was wholly lost to sight until 

 1951, when Mr. Paul W. Schwalbe, of the West Chester State Teachers 

 College, Gradyville, Pennsylvania, rediscovered it in a collection, formerly 

 the property of Benjamin H. Warren, now deposited at the college. Through 

 the courteous cooperation of the college authorities, it was returned to 

 Washington and was entered into the museum register under the new 

 number 444024. How and when the bird left the possession of Maynard 

 for that of Warren can perhaps never now be learned. 



The ink on the oldest label is now much faded, but the script on a more 

 recent one is still perfectly legible. The data thereon transcribed, perhaps 

 by Maynard's hand, are not quite exact: the name "Coues" is at one place 

 misspelled "Couse"; the place name "Prescott" appears as "Briscon"; and 

 the date is erroneously given as "Aug. 1, 1864."
