652 U.S. NATIONAL MUSEUM BULLETIN 221 



Although, at the original description, all of these (excepting No. 70019) 

 were given equal status as cotypes, yet it should be noted that the word 

 "Type" in Ridgv/ay's hand appears on the reverse side of the oldest labels of 

 No. 70015, a male, and No. 70023, a female. 

 Junco hyemalis danbyi Coues 



Nidiologist 3 (2) : 14, October 1895. 

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



41:409, 1944. 

 153188. Adult (sex not indicated). Custer, Custer County, South Da- 

 kota. September 1895. Collected by Elliott Coues. Received from 

 Elliott Coues. 

 Junco hyemalis, var. Aikeni Ridgway 



American Naturalist 7 (10): 613 (in key), 615, October 1873. 

 ^^Junco aikeni Ridgway. See Miller, Univ. California Publ. Zool. 



44:404-405, 1941. 

 61302. Adult male. Near Fountain, El Paso County, Colorado. Dec. 11, 

 1871. Collected by Charles E. H. Aiken. Original number 1053. Re- 

 ceived from Charles E. H. Aiken (of whose private collection it once 

 formed part). 

 Ridgway states that he examined a series of four males and two females, 

 but our No. 61302, for which full data are given at the original description, 

 is obviously the type, even though, perhaps through an oversight, the word 

 "type" is nowhere used. This specimen had already entered the museum 

 collection early in 1872, and it is certain that Ridgway intended to bestow 

 typeship upon the only member of the series not the personal property of the 

 collector. 

 Junco anneclens Baird 



in Cooper, Geol. Surv. California, Orn. 1:564 (not earlier than 

 October) 1870. 

 =Junco caniceps caniceps (Woodhouse) X Junco oreganus mearnsi 

 Ridgway. See Miller, Univ. California Publ. Zool. 44: 405-406, 1941. 

 10701. Adult female. Fort Bridger (Camp Scott), Unita County, Wyo- 

 ming (not Utah). May 28, 1858. Collected by Constantin Drexler. 

 Original number 474. South Pass Wagon Road Expedition. 

 Baird had before him several specimens, but Ridgway (Birds of North 

 and Middle America 1: 276 [footnote 2], 1901) has shown that all but No. 

 1 0701 were examples of the form later to be named Junco oreganus mearnsi 

 Ridgway (an opinion with which Miller concurs) . Thus restricted, the skin 

 listed above is the only possible type of Junco annectens.

Splzella passerina boreophila Oberholser
