66 = Seventh Congress of the American Ornithologists’ Union. [January 
This was unanimously rejected by the Committee, as being 
based on unstable characters, the same difference being ob- 
seryable, as an individual variation, in all the geographical 
races of this species. (Cf. Cuapman, Auk, VII, Jan. 1890, 91.) 
Geothlypis trichas roscoe (Aup.) Hasprovuck, Auk, VI, 
April, 1889, 167, 168. 
Rejected on the ground that SyZvéa roscoe of Audubon is a 
synonym of G. éréchas (J.inn.), the Mississippi valley bird be- 
ing not sufficiently different from that of the Atlantic coast to 
merit subspecific separation. The birds described by Mr. Has- 
brouck belong to the Florida race, recently named by Mr. Chap- 
man G. ¢richas tgnota, Mr. Hasbrouck’s error (for which he 
was not wholly responsible) being in identifying his birds with 
Sylvia rescoe Aud. 
Stalia mexicana anabele ANTHONY (Proc. Cal. Ac. Sci. 2d 
Berni, Oct., 1889, 79.) 
Characters deemed not sufficiently constant. 
Final action on the following was deferred, owing to lack 
of evidence respecting their status.
