No particular specimen was designated by Baird as the type and there is 

 nothing to show that any one of the six specimens given in his list should 

 be taken as such. Consequently all six listed become cotypes. They were 

 collected in July 1856, on Muskeget Island, off Nantucket, Mass., by T. M. 

 Brewer. The specimens are as follows : 



2828. Adult male in alcohol ; in good condition.
