U.S. NATIONAL MUSEUM BULLETIN 221 



No. 83606 has been considered the type by Charles W. Richmond, despite 

 the fact that it is the only one of five upon whose label nowhere appears 

 the word "Type" in Ridgway's hand, and despite the fact that No. 83605 

 carries the red-rimmed private label sometimes used by Ridgway to dis- 

 tinguish a type specimen ! 



No. 61244 was presented to the museum by Ridgway in December 1871 

 or January 1872, but must at some time have reentered his own collection 

 as part of an exchange, since it was again enregistered (as No. 83605) in 

 1881, when he finally made over his entire collection to the museum. 

 Fringilla Bachmani Audubon 



Birds of America (folio) 2: pi. 165, 1833. 

 =Aimophila aestivalis bachmani (Audubon) . See Hellmayr, Catalogue 

 of birds of tlie Americas 11:531, 1938; A.O.U. Committee on Clas- 

 sification and Nomenclature, Auk 68: 369, 1951. 

 2872. Adult (sex not indicated). Received from Spencer F. Baird (of 

 whose private collection it once formed part) , who acquired it from 

 John J. Audubon. 

 This is presumably a cotype, but since its oldest label is devoid of all 

 essential data, except for the "n" indicating that it came to Baird from 

 Audubon, its true history cannot now be traced.
