In his "Birds of North and Middle America" (1: 644 [footnote], 1901), 

 Ridgway inf erentially restricted the type locality of yucatanica to Merida, and 

 at some time the late Charles W. Richmond selected No. 36818 as the type. 

 There were, however, at least nine equivalent cotypes, and possibly eleven 

 (if Nos. 36817 and 37938, now missing, vanished from the collection after 

 September 1887). No. 100107 was sent to Outram Bangs in 1902; it is 

 probably now in the Museum of Comparative Zoology. 



Nos. 37937 and 39292, listed above, were for a period part of Ridgway's 

 private collection ; as might be expected, the oldest label carried by each one 

 is Ridgway's own.
