HYPOTHETICAL LIST. 371 



EJiown only from the type specimen, taken on Long Island, New 

 York, in May, 1833, and still extant in the National Museum. The 

 status of the species is in doubt. 



Pisobia ruficollis (Pallas). Eastern Least Stiat. [241.1.] 



Trynga ruficollis Pallas, Reise Russ. Reichs, III, 1776, 700. (Kulus- 

 sutai, Siberia.) 



The record of occurrence of this species at Nome, Alaska (Condor, 

 XI, 1909, 173) has been questioned, and the only other North 

 American record (Condor, XII, 1910, 44) is too indefinite to be satis- 

 factory. 



NumSnius arquatus (Linnaeus). European Curlew. [11.1.] 



Scolopax arqimta Linn^tjs, Syst. Nat., ed. 10, I, 1758, 145. (Sweden.) 



The evidence of its capture on Long Island, New York, is not con- 

 sidered satisfactory. 



Totanus t6tanus (Linn^us). Common Redshank. [11.2.] 



Sculopax totanus Linn.etjs, Syst. Nat., ed. 10, I, 1758, 145. (Sweden.) 



The Hudson Bay record (Fauna Bor.-Am., II, 1831, 391), the 

 only North American record for the species, is too vague to be taken 

 as conclusive evidence. 



Family CATHARTIDiE. 

 Genus SARCORAMPHUS DumiiEiL. 



Sarcoramphus Du.m£ril, Zool. Analytique, 1806, 32. Type, by subs, 

 desig., VuUur papa Linn^ds (Vigors, 1825). 



Sarcoramphus pSpa (I^inn^us). King Vulture. [12.] 



Vultur papa Linn.eus, Syst. Nat., ed. 10, I, 1758, 86. (Mexico?) 



The record of its supposed occurrence in Arizona (CouES, Bull. 

 Nutt. Orn. Club, VI, 1881, p. 248) remains unconfirmed.
