TYPE SPECIMENS OF BIRDS 575 



23338. Adult female. Freeman's Hall, Trelawny Parish, Cornwall 

 County, Jamaica. Feb. 11, 1859. Collected by W. Osburn. Original 

 number 83. Received from Philip L. Sclater. 



Osburn had four specimens, of which ours was the fourth taken. All 

 came into the possession of Philip L. Sclater, from whom we acquired our 

 No. 23338 in January 1862; the three others remained in his hands and 

 were listed by him in Catalogue of a Collection of American Birds, p. 139, 

 May 1862. These three are now deposited in the British Museum (Natural 

 History) , and one of them, an adult male, has been designated "Type of the 

 species" by Sclater (Catalogue of the birds in the British Museum 11: 354, 

 1886). Sclater's lectotype is, however, but one of four equivalent cotypes. 



Hellmayr {loc. cit.) states that the type locality is "lower mountains of 

 Jamaica," but this results from careless perusal of Osburn's article. The one 

 example seen in "the lower mountains" was not procured; the four taken 

 "during the first six weeks of the year" were all from Freeman's Hall, in 

 "The Black Grounds," which must then be considered the type locality. 



Genus LEISTES Vigors 



Leistes erythrothorax "(Natterer)" von Pelzeln 



Zur Ornithologie Brasiliens 3: 197, 326, January 1870. 

 =Leistes militaris militaris (Linnaeus) . See Hellmayr, Catalogue of birds 



of the Americas 10: 197, 1937. 



60589. Adult male. Rio Madeira (in the vicinity of the mouth of the 



Rio Mahici), State of Amazonas, Brazil. Nov. 16, 1829. Collected by 



Johann Natterer. Original number "612"=1123. Received from the 



Naturhistorisches Museum, Vienna. 



60588. Adult female. Praia de Cajutuba, State of Para, Brazil. March 



or April 1835. Collected by Johann Natterer. Original number 



"835"=:1123. Received from the Naturhistorisches Museum, Vienna. 



This name was bestowed upon a series of 20 specimens, from several 



localities. Hellmayr {loc. cit) states that the type, from Cajutuba, is in the 



Vienna Museum, but in fact all of the original series are quivalent cotypes.
