This is " californica " in all particulars - underparts 

 very pale - under tail coverts not blue (partly 

 missing). 



I cannot find this name in synonymy, but should it 



appear the name is of certain subspecific application. 



It is cited in synonymy by Bonaparte (Notes Om. Del, j 



but vdth no reference, 

 ii Dubois register appears 



"52^6B type du G. palliatus de Drapiez (Coll. Drapiez)' 



This name is not in either the early Paris edition of 

 Diet, Classique - nor in the later Brussels (Drapiez) 

 work, Brussels, July 12, 1939* 



This specimen is identical in coloration with 3 speci- 

 mens from "San Francisco". 



Bonaparte cites G[arrulus] palliatus Drapiez, p. 377. 

 * To tips of second pair of rectrices - central pair 

 missing.
