204 Proposed Changes in the A. O. U. Check-List. Fee 
Tyrannus melancholicus satrapa (Cabanis and Heine). Laphyctes 
satrapa Cabanis and Heine, Mus. Hein., I, 1859, p. 77 (Lichtenstein 
MS.) (Guiana). Taken at Scarborough, Maine. (Cf. Norton, Auk, 
XXXIII, 1916, p. 382.) 
Agelaius phoeniceus pheeniceus (Linnzus) becomes Agelaius phoeni- 
ceus predatorius (Wilson) (Stwrnus predatorius Wilson, Amer, 
Ornith., IV, 1811, p. 30, pl. XXX, figs. 1, 2; eastern Pennsylvania); 
since Agelaius pheniceus pheniceus of the A. O. U. Check-List refers 
properly to the Florida race now called Agelaius pheeniceus flori- 
danus. (Cf. Mearns, Proc. Biol. Soc. Wash., XXIV, 1911, pp. 226— 
227.) 
Agelaius pheniceus floridanus Maynard becomes Agelaius pheeniceus 
pheeniceus Linnzus, since birds from South Carolina, the type local- 
ity of the latter, are referable to the Florida race. (Cf. Mearns, Proc. 
Biol. Soc. Wash., XXIV, 1911, pp. 226-227.) 
Loxia curvirostra sitkensis Grinnell, Univ. Calif. Pub. Zool., V, Feb. 
18, 1909, p. 223 (Windfall Harbor, Admiralty Island, Alaska). Recog- 
nized as a tenable subspecies (cf. Brooks, Bull. Mus. Comp. Zool., 
LIX, September, 1915, p. 406). Range: Coast district of southeastern 
Alaska. 
Passerculus sandwichensis brooksi Bishop. New subspecies. Bishop, 
Condor, XVII, Sept., 1915, p. 187 (Chilliwack, B. C.). Range: south- 
western British Columbia to western Washington; in winter to 
California. 
Melospiza melodia fisherella Oberholser. New subspecies. Ober- 
holser, Proc. Biol. Soc. Wash., XXIV, Dec. 23, 1911, p. 251 (Honey 
Lake, near Miullford, Calif.). Range: eastern California, western 
Nevada, and central southern Oregon. 
Melospiza melodia mailliardi Grinnell. New subspecies. Grinnell, 
Univ. Calif. Publ. Zool., VII, No. 5, Feb. 18, 1911, p. 197 (Rancho 
Dos Rios, near Modesto, Calif.). Range: Lower San Joaquin valley, 
California. 
Guiraca cerulea salicaria Grinnell. New subspecies. Guiraca cerulea 
salicarius Grinnell, Proc. Biol. Soc. Wash., XXIV, June 16, 1911, 
p. 163 (Santa Ana River, near Colton, Calif.). Range: central and 
southern California. 
Petrochelidon lunifrons lunifrons (Say) becomes Petrochelidon 
albifrons albifrons (Rafinesque) (Hirundo albifrons Rafinesque, 
Kentucky Gazette, February 14, 1822, p. 3, col. 4; Newport, Ken- 
tucky); since Rafinesque’s name is clearly identifiable as Hirundo 
[= Petrochelidon] lunifrons Say and is of earlier date. (Cf. Rhoads, 
Auk, XXIX, 1912, pp. 192-195.) 
Penthestes hudsonicus nigricans Townsend. Newsubspecies. Town- 
send, Auk, XX XIII, Jan., 1916, p. 74 (Shekatika, Saguenay County, 
Quebec). Range: Forested region of Labrador Peninsula. 
Corthylio Cabanis, Journ. f. Ornith., I, Jan., 1853, p. 83 (type, Motacilla
