 Cassin's series was composite, including birds later to be named Icterus 

 mesomelas carrikeri Todd. The type locality of salvinii was inferentially 

 restricted to "Costa Rica" by Stone (Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. Philadelphia 

 51: 34, 1899), and accordingly only those skins seen by Cassin from Costa 

 Rica and Nicaragua may now be considered cotypes. In addition to the 

 three listed above, there was, in Washington, No. 33368 (with all data as 

 for No. 33369), now vanished from the collection, and in Philadelphia are 

 Nos. 3449 and 3452, from "Costa Rica." 



Stone {loc. cit.) has claimed his No. 3449 as the type, but if any specimen 

 is to be made a lectotype, clearly it must be one of those in Washington 

 possessed of full data.

 Jones, who acquired it, with other birds, from "Mr. Cartright Agt. 

 P.S.N. Co. Guayaquil as a gift" {in epist. cit.).
