394 Fourteenth Supplement to the A. 0. U. Check-List. [f^^ 



Avif., No. 4, 1904, 13). On reconsideration the former decision 

 of the Committee was reaffirmed. 



Contopus richardsonii saturatus Bishop, Auk, 1900, 116. Not 

 accepted, the alleged characters proving of no value. 



Otocoris alpestris aphrasta Oberholser, Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., 

 XXIV, 1902, 860. Considered to be extralimital. 



Cyanociita steUeri horealis Chapman, Bull. Am. Mus. N. H., 

 XVI, 1902, 240. Not admitted, for reasons expressed in the 

 former ruling of the Committee (Auk, 1903, 362). 



Stelkrocitta and Sieberocitta (cf. CouES, Key, 5th ed. 1903, 495, 

 499). These proposed subgenera are not accepted, having been 

 based on color characters alone. 



Ferisoreus vs. Cractes (cj. Ridgway, Bull. U. S. Nat. Mus., No. 

 50, Pt. Ill, 1904, 750). Cractes proves to be simply a substitute 

 name for Garridus Brisson, and does not enter the Check-List. 



Corvus corax darionensis Rothschild & Hartert, Nov. Zool., 

 IX, 1902, 381. {Cj. Ridgway, Bull. U. S. Nat. Mus., No. 50, Pt. 

 Ill, 1904, 264.) Believed to be not sufficiently distinct for recogni- 

 tion, so far as the alleged form occurs within our limits. 



489. Corvus caurinus vs. C. hrachyrliynchos caurinus (cf. Ridgway, 

 BuH. U. S. Nat. Mus., No. 50, Pt. Ill, 1904, 746). The 

 proposed change in the status of this form is considered un- 

 warranted at present. 



Loxia curvirostra bemlirei (cf. Merriam, N. A. Fauna, No. 16, 

 1899, 123; Ridgway, 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 griseomicha (cf. 

 Ridgway, 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.
