586 U.S. NATIONAL MUSEUM BULLETIN 221 



"Costa Rica" appears on the labels, but the locality given in the museum 

 register is "San Jose." The substitution of "Talamanca," by Ridgway (Birds 

 of North and Middle America 2: 137, 1902), was based upon information 

 received directly from the collector.

 Rhodinocichla rosea eximia Ridgway 



Birds of North and Middle America 2: 770, Oct. 16, 1902. 



177415. Adult male. Bugaba (elev. 600 feet). Department of Chiriqui, 

 Panama. July 10, 1901. Collected by Wilmot W. Brown, Jr. Re- 

 ceived from Outram Bangs. 



This form Avas based upon at least ten adult males, at least ten adult 

 females, and an unstated number of immatures, both males and females, 

 every one of which should be considered an equivalent cotype ! It is certain 

 that not nearly so many specimens of the race were in the collection of the 

 United States National Museum, and the fact that No. 177415 (acquired by 

 exchange from Outram Bangs) formed part of the original series leads me to 

 believe that a number of the cotypes are now in the Museum of Comparative 

 Zoology, ex the E. A. and O. Bangs Collection. That I have accepted the 

 lectotype, No. 177415, as the only one here to be listed is due mainly to the 

 fact that Ridgway, at the very time of entering the specimen into the museum 

 register (Nov. 23, 1901), wrote "Type of new subspecies" after its name, 

 thus implying that he had, from the beginning, so intended to designate it, 

 despite his having carelessly failed finally to do so. It may be noted also 

 that he neglected to indicate that the name was new at its first pubhcation.
