 Coues's original series was composed of seven specimens, of which Nos. 

 18099, a male, and 18101, a female, were sent on Jan. 12, 1862, to the 

 Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia. 



Nos. 18097 and 18102 at some time entered the private collection of Robert 

 Ridgway, who removed the original labels of Coues and transferred onto his 

 own labels only what he considered important. Since on the reverse of 

 each label he has written "One of the types of 'fuscescens, Coues'!," we must 

 assume that he was not unaware of the importance of these particular 

 specimens.
