544 BIRDS OF THE REPUBLIC OF PANAMA PART 2 



In the original description of diversus Ridgway, through some over- 

 sight, did not list the type specimen. This, however, is clearly indicated 

 in his manuscript records as U. S. Nat. Mus. no. 64872, $, collected 

 at Sipurio, Costa Rica, March 31, 1873, by Jose C. Zeledon. In his 

 sheet of measurements for this race Ridgway entered "Type" before 

 this number, and also made this notation in the Museum catalog (by 

 his own hand). Cory (Cat. Birds Amer., pt. 2, no. 2, 1919, p. 453) 

 gives the type locality as "Talamanca" with a footnote in explanation 

 which reads "Prof. Ridgway informs me that the type specimen was 

 collected by Zeledon at Talamanca, Costa Rica." Sipurio, as cited 

 above, is in the Talamanca district of the Province of Limon. Deignan 

 (U. S. Nat. Mus. Bull. 221, 1961, pp. 211-212) has listed the 4 speci- 

 mens cited by Ridgway in the original description as "co-types," as 

 apparently he was not aware of Ridgway's notations listed above.
