590 U.S. NATIONAL MUSEUM BULLETIN 221 



Lawrence named five birds at the place cited above, of which three were 

 stated to be based upon specimens in the U.S. National Museum, while two 

 others (both from Ecuador) were left without indication of ownership of 

 the types. These two were founded upon skins in the collection of the Wes- 

 leyan University, which were later to be presented to us. That our No. 75333 

 (entered into the register on October 18, 1878) is in fact the type of Chlo- 

 rospingus nigrifrons Lawrence is indicated by the fact that measurements 

 on its label, in Lawrence's hand, agree perfectly with those that appear at 

 the original description.
