markings the P. erythropUhalmus of the East, three definable forms have 



been recognized, these representing separate geographical areas, and thus 



corresponding to what are termed geographical, or climatic, races.' These 



' Typical maculatus, representing a fourth race, inhabits the table-lands of Mexico; 

 additional forms are, P. carmani, Baird, of Socorro Island, and F. consobrinus, Ridg-
