i The long-billed marsh wren of Arizona has been called the subspecies palludicola 

 of Baird ; but as the type of C. p. palludicola came from the Pacific coast region, and 

 represents a darker geographical form than that inhabiting Arizona— as I am informed 

 by Mr Oberholser. who is engaged in making a critical study of the marsh wrens — I 

 have given only its specific name.
