source of the specimen. Witmer Stone, in his above-mentioned ac- 

 count of the type, adds that another specimen with the same data 

 is in the United States National Museum as No. 6005. It is, how- 

 ever, practically certain that this " No. 6005, U.S.N.M." is the very 

 same as the real type now in the Academy of Natural Sciences of 

 Philadelphia, for this specimen the Smithsonian Institution returned 

 to Doctor Henry in 1859, and the bird thence found its way into the 

 Academy collection. In the bird catalogue of the United States 

 National Museum (i. e., the Smithsonian Institution) it is entered as 

 from "Eio Mimbres L. 32°"; and Professor Baird, who doubtless 

 was aware of its true locality, recorded it ^ as from the Eio Mimbres 

 (i. e., Fort Webster). This is added evidence, if any be needed, that 

 the type locality is Fort Webster, for Professor Baird was undoubt- 

 edly familiar with the correct localities of Doctor Henry's specimens, 

 as other cases go to prove. 



The type is a very dark specimen, blackish on the upper parts, 

 with deep tawny markings, and is an extreme example of the Arizona 

 race. It has been mounted and is somewhat discolored, though still 

 well preserved.
