634 U.S. NATIONAL MUSEUM BULLETIN 221 



Nos. 70028 and 189625 both became part of Ridgway's private collection, 

 and the oldest labels now carried by them are Ridgway's own. In the case 

 of No. 70028, the U.S. National Museum's number appears on Ridgway's 

 label, but no such notation is found on that of No. 189625 — thus one cannot 

 be sure that No. 189625 is not the unnumbered female listed at the original 

 description. 



The word "Type" in Ridgway's hand occurs on the oldest label of No. 

 70033, and the red tabs formerly employed to indicate typeship are attached 

 to each of Ridgway's private labels (Nos. 70028 and 189625), but these 

 specimens are in fact but three of nine equivalent cotypes. 

 Pipilo Socorroensis Grayson 



California Farmer and Journal of Useful Sciences 28 (16) : 127, Oct. 

 24, 1867. 

 Pipilo carmani Lawrence 



Ann. Lye. Nat. Hist. New York 10 (1-3) : 7, February-March 1871. 

 =Pipilo erythrophthalmus socorroensis Grayson. See Hellmayr, Cata- 

 logue of birds of the Americas 11: 459, 1938; Sibley, Univ. California 

 Publ. Zool. 50: 116-119, 1950; Taylor, Condor 53: 196, 1951. 

 39990. Adult female. Socorro Island, Revilla Gigedo Islands, eastern 

 Pacific Ocean off Mexico. June 1865. Collected by Andreiv J. Gray- 

 son. Original number unknown. 



50842. Adult male. Socorro Island. June 1865. Collected by Andrew 

 J. Grayson. Original number 395. 



50843. Adult male. Same data as No. 50842. 



50844. Adult female. Same data as No. 50842. 

 50846. Adult male. Same data as No. 50842. 



58268. Adult (sex not indicated, but apparently male). Socorro Island. 

 June 1865. Collected by Andrew J. Grayson. Original number "364." 



Taylor {loc. cit. supra) found that Grayson had a total of 12 specimens, 

 all of which must be considered cotypes of Pipilo Socorroensis Grayson. Of 

 these, seven or eight came to the U.S. National Museum: Nos. 39989, 39990, 

 50842-50846, and 58268, but Nos. 39989 and 50845, both males, have 

 vanished from the collection without trace (unless No. 58268 is merely No. 

 50845 reentered into the register under a new number) . The remaining four 

 or five specimens seem, according to Taylor, to have been sold by Grayson 

 and destined for persons in England. 



Although all of these are cotypes of Grayson's name, only Nos. 39990 

 and 50843 are cotypes of Pipilo carmani Lawrence, by his definite designa- 

 tion at the original description.
