now in Regulus: 
Corthylio calendula calendula (Linnzus). 
Corthylio calendula grinnelli (Palmer). 
Corthylio obscurus (Ridgway). 
Regulus calendula obscurus Ridgway becomes Corthylio obscurus 
(Ridgway), because considered specifically distinct from Corthylio 
calendula. (Cf. Miller, Auk, XXXII, 1915, pp. 235-236.)

In conducting a study of the Puffins brought from Labrador by the 
Bowdoin College Expedition of 1891,2 I found it desirable to examine
