Note on Meleagris gallopavo fera. — In discussing the lurkey ques- 
tion (Auk, XIV, July, 1897, pp. 272-275) I neglected to express a prefer- 
ence for Vieillot’s term fera , and make the formal combination here given. 
Also, there occurs on p. 274 the typographical error of pera for fera in 
citing the Gal. Ois. II, 1825, p. 10, pi. 201, and I inadvertently used the 
term sylvestris instead of fera in citing the Nouv. Diet, d’llist. Nat. IX, 
1817, p. 447. — Elliott Coues, Washington , D. C.
