 4363=3736 reentered. Subadult male. Near Cleveland, Cuyahoga 

 County, Ohio. May 13, 1851. Collected by Charles Pease. Received 

 from Spencer F. Baird, who acquired it from Jared P. Kirtland. 

 Among the MS. notes of the late Charles W. Richmond are found the fol- 

 lowing remarks on this type : 



"Presented by Kirtland to Baird, who says 'killed by Dr. Kirtland, near 

 Cleveland, Ohio, May, 1851, and prepared by myself (Baird was in Cleve- 

 land at the time) . Baird in same place lists the bird as collected 'May 13, 

 '51'. (Rev. Am. Birds, 1865, p. 207.) 



"The bird was first catalogued in our colln. in 1852 as no. 3736, and date 

 is given as May 12, 1851. In orig. descr. Baird writes 'This species, which 

 was shot near Cleveland, Ohio, by Mr. Charles Pease, May 13, 1851' (Ann. 

 Lye. N. H. New York, V, 1852, p. 217. The upper mandible has been 

 broken since the orig. desc. was made. 



"As originally catal., the type is listed as received from Kirtland, but this 

 was probably an instance where Baird catal. a bird in advance of its receipt 

 (as I know he did in some other cases). In the meantime Kirtland gave 

 the bird to Baird, who turned it over to the Smithsonian and it was again 

 catalogued, this time in 1855, under the number 4363 (the number under 

 which it has been referred to in print), where the date is given as May 1851 

 and it is credited as rec'd from Baird & collected by Kirtland. On the orig. 

 label Baird has indicated the date as 'May 1851' with the date '13' inserted 

 later. I think Baird's date, May 13, is likely to be correct."
