Corazon, but that mountain is also getting largely exploited 

 for them. In places at present unexplored by the Quitenos

 '' Perdriz." 



XV. — Remarks on the Species of American Gallinae recently 

 described, and Notes on their Nomenclature. By W. II. 

 Ogilvie-Grant. 



Since the publication of the twenty-second volume of the 

 * Catalogue of Birds in the British Museum ' in 1893 a 

 number of new species and subspecies of American Game- 

 birds have been described. Below will be found a list of 

 them, with remarks on and identifications of those which are 

 not considered valid by the writer, and with his reasons 

 for proposing to suppress them. 



The numbers preceding the specific names are those used 

 in the ' Catalogue of Birds ' : the position of the new species 

 admitted as valid is indicated by such symbols as " 1 a."

I have compared three adult males in autumn jjlumage 

 from Colorado (one being from Blaine's Peak, the typical 

 locality of L. I. altipetens) with two males and a female iu 

 autumn plumage from the Cascade Mountains^ and find them 

 absolutely identical.
