American Ornithologists' Union Check List (several editions) as well as the Catalogue

 geographic ranges of the two forms as there given. 



a The A. 0. U. Check List (3rd ed., 1910, p. 116) states that P. a. aipina is acci- 

 dental in "Massachusetts, New York, and District of Columbia;" but I have not been 

 able to find the records, except that for Now York (probably the Shinnecock Bay 

 occurrence^ I believe, however, that th(^ alleged occurrence in the District of 

 Columbia, based by H. M. Smith in Auk, iii, 1SS6, 140, on old entries in the U. S. 

 National Museum catalogue of "Tnnga aipina" i\nd '" Pelidna aipina'' is an error, the 

 Bpecimens there referred to probably being both P. a. sakhalina.
