 Quiscalus aglaeus Baird, 1866, was a new name for the bird misidentified 



by Baird (Rep. Expl. and Surv. R.R. Pac. 9: 556, 1858) as Quiscalus baritus 

 (Linnaeus) , and the cotypes of aglaeus must be the males then listed by Baird 

 {op. cit., p. 557). There were originally seven of these, but Nos. 10335 and 

 10336 have vanished from the collection without trace; No. 10340 was sent 

 in 1859 to George N. Lawrence and is probably now in the American Museum 

 of Natural History, New York.
