Coues mentioned neither type locality nor specimens, but since he named 

 this form in a review of Allen's "Mammals and Winter Birds of East 

 Florida" (Bull. Mus. Comp. Zool. 2: 161-450, 1871), we are justified in 

 surmising that the original series are the 29 Maynard-taken birds listed by 

 Allen (p. 283). See Ridgway (Birds of North and Middle America 1: 427 

 [footnote 1], 1901), who probably had his information directly from Coues! 



Seven of these skins, all listed by Allen, came to Washington, but Nos. 

 55265 and 55269 have vanished without trace. Bangs (Bull. Mus. Comp. 

 Zool. 70: 388, 1930) has listed as cotypes the Museum of Comparative 

 Zoology's Nos. 10722 and 10726, a male and a female respectively, but any 

 others of the original series, now in Cambridge or elsewhere, would seem to 

 possess equivalent status. 



H, however, any specimens have stronger claims to typeship than others, 

 these would be the ones in the U.S. National Museum, which alone perhaps
