TYPE SPECIMENS OF BIRDS 649 



=Junco caniceps dorsalis Henry. See Miller, Univ. California Publ. Zool. 



44: 382-384, 1941. 

 9272=9271 ? Adult (sex not indicated) . Fort Stanton (not Fort Thorn ) , 

 Lincoln County, New Mexico. Entered into the museum register on 

 Feb. 27, 1858. Collected by T. Charlton Henry. 

 There were apparently but two cotypes of this form, of which one (No. 

 9271=9272?) was returned to its collector in 1859 and has now disappeared. 

 The true type locality of Junco dorsalis has been established by Cooke 

 {in Bailey, Birds of New Mexico, p. 740, 1928). That the views there ex- 

 pressed are correct may be assumed not only from the evidence adduced by 

 Cooke, but also from the fact that the junco was described in the same note 

 as "Toxostoma dorsalis" on the leaf (pp. 117 and 118) that was to be sup- 

 pressed about a month later, so that the name of the latter might be altered 

 to '^Toxostoma crissalis" (see Oberholser, Auk 37:303, 1920). In the 

 course of correcting one printer's error, several others seem to have been 

 perpetrated ! 



A full discussion of the ambiguities surrounding the data for Nos. 9271 

 and 9272 has been presented by Miller {loc. cit.) . I suggest that the true 

 No. 9271 was the specimen returned to Henry, and that Baird's No. "9270" 

 should have read No. "9272"; many similar lapsus occur in his report of 

 1858, and also in the notations subsequently added to the museum register, 

 based upon carelessly copied early records. 

 J [unco], cinereus palliatus Ridgway 

 Auk 2 (4) : 364, October 1885. 

 =Junco phaeonotus palliatus Ridgway. See Miller, Univ. California 



Publ. Zool. 44: 384-385, 1941. 

 68817. Adult male. Graham Peak, Pinaleno Mountains, Graham County, 

 Arizona. Sept. 19, 1874. Collected by Henry W. Henshaw. Original 

 number 749. U.S. Geographical and Geological Explorations and 

 Surveys West of the 100th Meridian (Expedition of 1874). 

 Junco bairdi, "Belding, MS." Ridgway 



Proc. U.S. Nat. Mus. 6: 155, Oct. 11, 1883. 

 =Junco bairdi Ridgway. See Miller, Univ. California Publ. Zool. 

 44:386-388, 1941. 



89810. Adult male (not "not determined"). La Laguna (about lat. 

 23°35' N.), Sierra de la Laguna (northern portion of the Sierra de la 

 Victoria), State of Baja California, Mexico. Feb. 2, 1883. Collected 

 by Lyman Belding. 



89811. Adult (sex not indicated, not "male"). Same data as No. 89810. 

 Doubtless through a printer's error, the numbers 89810 and 89811 were 



transposed in Ridgway's original description.
