394 Fourteenth Supplement to the A. O. U. Check-List. july 
Avit., No. 4, 1904, 13). On reconsideration the former decision 
of the Committee was reaffirmed. 
Contopus richardsonti saturatus Bisnor, Auk, 1900, 116. Not 
accepted, the alleged characters proving of no value. 
Otocoris alpestris aphrasta OBERHOLSER, Proc. U.S. Nat. Mus., 
XXIV, 1902, S60. Considered to be extralimital. 
Cyanocitta stellert borealis CHAPMAN, Bull. Am. Mus. N. H. 
XVI, 1902, 240. Not admitted, for reasons expressed in the 
former ruling of the Committee (Auk, 1903, 362). 
’ 
Stellerocitta and Sieberocitta (cf. Cours, Key, 5th ed. 1903, 495, 
499). ‘These proposed subgenera are not accepted, having been 
based on color characters alone. 
Perisoreus vs. Cractes (cj. Rrpaway, Bull. U. S. Nat. Mus., No. 
50, Pt. II, 1904, 750). Cractes proves to be simply a substitute 
name for Garrulus Brisson, and does not enter the Check-List. 
Corvus corax clarionensis RoruscHttp & Hartrert, Noy. Zool., 
IX, 1902, 381. (C7. Ripeway, Bull. U. S. Nat. Mus., No. 50,.Pt. 
III, 1904, 264.) Believed to be not sufficiently distinct for recogni- 
tion, so far as the alleged form occurs within our limits. 
489.9 Corvus caurinus vs. C. brachyrhynchos caurinus (cf. Ripaway, 
Bull. U. S. Nat. Mus., No. 50, Pt. III, 1904, 746). The 
proposed change in the status of this form is considered un- 
warranted at present. 
Loxia curvirostra bendiret (cj. Merriam, N. A. Fauna, No. 16, 
1899, 123; Ripeway, Bull. U. S. Nat. Mus., No. 50, Pt. I, 1901, 
50). Not accepted, there being apparently no well-defined range 
for the supposed form. 
523. Leucosticte griseonucha vs. L. tephrocotis griseonucha (ef. 
Ripeway, Bull. U. S. Nat. Mus., No. 50, Pt. I, 1901, 72); 
Without clear proof of intergradation, a change in status in 
this case is deemed to be undesirable.
