 toe minus clav/ 16.0, [Bullock]. Locality

Old tag reads 

 Genus PYRANGA 



P. hepatica ^w, 

 Mexico. 



An adult male in perfect plumage, evidently taken 

 in winter as there is no appreciable abrasion evident 

 anyv;here and even the feathers of the chest retain 

 their faint gray dipping. 



A typical Bullock skin and the only such in the 

 collection. It is vdtnout question the type. 



Remarks: This is exactly the form it has been 

 presumed to be. It is not dextra Bangs ^sT k^^sl. 

 oreophasma Oberholser. I believe the type locality 

 is wrong & should be Temascal tepee.
