Of the other three, the black-shouldered longspur is now considered identi- 
eal with the chestnut-collared longspur, the golden-winged warbler was in- 
cluded on an error of locality, and Doctor Coues writes that Professor Baird was 
in error when he included the scissor-tailed flycatcher as ‘‘taken by Coues at 
Fort Riley, Kan.’? Doctor Coues tells me that he never saw a live bird of this 
species in Kansas or elsewhere.
