Types examined by me at Berlin on Aug, 25, 1933, 



Dr, Stresemann tells me that Beske was a dealer in 

 bird skins at Hamburg and that his son in America sent 

 him specimens from there. They v/ere mostly marked 

 "Nord Araerika" but occasionally an additional locality 

 ranging from New York, Nev; Jersey, Virginia, Carolina 

 and Georgia were added. These, havever are thoroughly 

 unreliable for a perusal of the old catalogues shov/s 

 many impossible locality records. 



Remarks: Lichtenstein had U birds (see Nomencl, Av. Berol/) 

 and thejje are all still in the Museum, 2 are small
