APPENDIX TO CHECK LIST. 131 



No. 274bis. A fine species of humming bird has been discovered by 

 Mr. H. W. Henshaw to inhabit Arizona, and has been determined 

 by Mr. Lawrence to be Eugenes fulgens. (Am. Nat., viii, 1874, in 

 press.) 



274bis. EUGENES FULGENS (Sw.). 

 Refulg-ent Humming-bird. 



No. 279. The authority is (LESS.) BP. 



" 281. The authority is (LESS.) GLD. 



" 292. The authority is (LATH.) NUTT. 



" 303 ? This species, queried in the text, and in Key, p. 195, may 

 be regarded as a variety of 302, the intergradation, through 302a, prov- 

 ing complete. See Ridgway, Am. Jour., iv, Dec., 1872. 



302b. SPHYRAPICUS VAKIUS (L.) BD., 



var. RUBER (Gm.) Ridg. 

 Red-breasted Woodpecker. 



Nos. 304, 305. Observations lately made by Mr. H. W. Henshaw 

 (Am. Nat., viii, 1874, in press) are to the effect that Sphyrapicus thy- 

 roideus is the female of S. williamsoni. The opposite sexes of each 

 of these species have not been satisfactorily recognized, and upon 

 examination of Mr. Henshaw's material, I find almost conclusive evi- 

 dences in favor of his views, substantiating his observations. Such 

 sexual differences are unique in the family. As the older name, S. 

 thyroideus will stand for the species, 8. williamsoni becoming a syno- 

 nyme. No. 305 is therefore to be cancelled. 



No. 307. The authority is (WAGL.) GRAY.
