TYPE SPECIMENS OF BIRDS 609 



10230. Adult male. Fort Tejon, Kern County, California. 1857? (en- 

 tered into the museum register on May 4, 1858). Collected by John 

 Xantus. Original number 1037. 

 Many specimens supposed to be representative of his new form were 

 listed by Baird {op. cit., p. 414), but since his diagnosis was based upon 

 characters of the male, the potential number of cotypes is immediately 

 greatly diminished by subtraction of the females. The number must be 

 still further restricted by the fact that many, even among the males, would 

 now be considered examples of more recently named races. 



Grinneli {loc. cit.) has decided that the type should be No. 10230, which 

 was the model for pi. 72, fig. 2, in Baird, Cassin, and Lawrence, "Birds of 

 North America," 1860. It by no means follows that the model for a portrait 

 in a later work must be the type of a name; indeed, we know that some 

 plates in the work in question were drawn from specimens not even in the 

 original series of 1858. In fact, however, some restriction of type locality 

 was in this case essential, and Grinneli has inferentially performed such 

 restriction. Since No, 10230 was the only male seen by Baird from Fort 

 Tejon (and was, moreover, the only one listed on p. 412 in the tabulation 

 of "Comparative measurements of species"), it alone is listed above. 

 Carpodacus cassinii vinifer Duvall 

 Condor 47 (5) : 203, Sept. 29, 1945. 

 367522. Adult male. Swan Lake, Ferry County, Washington. June 17, 

 1942. Collected by Stanley G. Jewett. Original number 1502. Re- 

 ceived from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. 

 Carpodacus cassinii Baird 



Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. Philadelphia 7 (3) : 119 (not earlier than June 

 27), 1854. 

 =Carpodacus cassinii cassinii Baird. See Duvall, Condor 47: 203-204, 

 1945. 



6421. Adult (sex not indicated, but apparently male). "Camp 104," 

 Pueblo Creek (vicinity of Aztec Pass, lat. 34°56' N., long. 112°53' W.), 

 Yavapai County, Arizona {not New Mexico). Jan, 22, 1854. Collected 

 by Caleb B. R. Kennerly and H. Baldwin Mollhausen. Original number 

 52. Pacific Railroad Survey, Line of the 35th Parallel. 



6422. Adult female. "75 miles W. of Albuquerque," Valencia County, 

 New Mexico. Nov. 15, 1853. Collected by Caleb B. R. Kennerly and 

 H. Baldwin Mollhausen. Original number 16. Pacific Railroad Survey, 

 Line of the 35th Parallel. 



There were three cotypes of this form, only two of which are still in the 

 museum; the third. No. 6420, a male with data as for No. 6421, was sent in 

 April 1872 to the Museo Nacional, Buenos Aires. Since Baird's diagnosis 

 placed greater emphasis on characters of the male, Duvall {loc. cit.) has 

 restricted the type locality to the provenience of the two males and has estab- 

 lished No. 6421, the male still in Washington, as the lectotype.
