Manuscript Notes on Avian Types /
by Adriaan van Rossem
In 1933 Adriaan van Rossem travelled abroad to visit museums, primarily to examine types, and also to check on other materials. His notes indicate the following itinerary:
Paris July 24 to Aug. 3 Munchen Aug. 19 to 21 Darmstadt Aug, 22
Berlin Aug. 24 to 313 Sept. 2 Dresden Sept. 1
London Sept. 7 to 25 Cambridge Sept. 21
In 1938 van Rossem and I were abroad to- gether to attend the Ninth International Ornithological Congress at Rouen. We examined a few specimens in Paris and later were in London where we lived as guests with David and Muriel Bannerman. We also visited Cam- bridge.
In June 1939 van Rossem went abroad again primarily to examine type material. Beforehand he came to Washington, and for a time was with me, while he worked daily at the U.S. National Museum. He had with him his notes from his previous studies abroad, written longhand on small sheets. During his stay in Washington the political situation in Europe steadily became more critical in movement toward war. While travel abroad was not prohibited, it was evident that it might be interrupted wi much prior warning.
D loo eres ae
In consideration of this van Rossem asked me to have his longhand notes typed with a carbon copy that he could take with him while the originals were left in my care. Also he kindly gave me the ribbon copy with permission to retain it for my files for use as needed, as indicated in his handwritten note of June 19, 1939 that is included with these papers, with excerpts from two of his letters written in London August 13 and 29.
His itinerary in 1939, in main part, was as follows:
Leiden July 3 to & Brussels July 11 to 29 London Aug. 11 to mid-September
With his letters from the latter city he forwarded the notes made during this journey, to be typed and placed with the other material.
The original of the typed copy, given to me by van Rossem, is bound herewith, with the material arranged by genus name in alpha- betical order.

Dear Doc:
Having been around the circle of various and sundry museums it would seem that I should submit some sort of report.
Leiden is a very different place under the guidance of Junge, compared to the Van Oort regime of several years ago. I spent two weeks there with excellent results in the way of Bonaparte and Temminck types - thanks to Junge's help. I may say that our very pleasant impressions of him from Rouen last year are more than verified, both personally and professionally. He devoted practically his entire time to me at the museum, took me on several long country walks, and seemed really disappointed that I would not put up at his home instead of a hotel.
thtt+
Brussels took nearly a month - much more work there in the way of Du Bus, Dubois and Bonaparte types than had been anticipated. There is considerable systematic grief there - Most of Du Bus! "Mexico" types being taken in "Tabasco" by Ghiesbreght - in territory which is now Chiapas - and consequently his names are perfectly good for several Central American mountain races. Also Bonaparte's Passerculus anthinus type is there - beyond any question, Thank God it is "the" Western Savannah Sparrow and consequently no change from Griscom and Peters' review is necessary.

I only arrived here two days ago - everyone is out of town this month. Mathews on his way to Australia, Percy Lowe and G. Carmichael [Low] shooting grouse in Scotland, Bannerman in Cornwall, Meinertzhagen and com- pany somewhere on the western front, Grant in Egypt. Sclater is here, also Kinnear, both of whom send their best regards.

Dear Doc:
I am sending you today two separate en- velopes of notes on types, etc., by registered mail. At the moment it looks as though they might be a trifle safer in America than here! Am trying to be optimistic but am not leaving, for the reason that we all have been working about 26 hours a day packing books and other valuables, and I seem definitely to be of some use and much remains to be done.
++4++
Hurriedly, (signed) van P.S. Some of the notes may seem to be contra-
dictory, but actually are not if you look them over carefully.

Mounted bird in good condition; yellow glass eyes; plumage that of late "winter" or early "spring" a fully adult male.
The only trace of edging anywhere are a few traces on the flanks and under—tail—coverts and on the ti
the secondary coverts; shoulders bright yellows under

at * Sena fa oak eos ilies maa fo yer ving covert and edge of wing cLightly paler yellow;
there is no slightest trace of superciliary streak.
There is another "Chili" specimen here - a young
7139 male in first pre-nuptial plumage, on which of course, there is considerable edging. However, in this specimen also, there is not the faintest suggest- ion of a superciliary mark.
No locality given in the original description; "Chili as given in the register is, of cour quite wrong. The register gives no hint of from whom the bird were obtained, they were a part of the old mseum (not Du Bus) collection, and are without question the species referred to by Bonaparte. Since that author used the term "nigerrimis" in the description it seems best to regard the adult as a holotype. | Brussels, July 28, 1939.

Skin in fair condition though like most if not all Bullock skins, devoid of stuffing and flattened. Plumage fresh as though taken not later than midwinter. The longest "tertials" reach exactly to the tips of the longest primaries.
This is not the western grasshopper sparrow, but the small, dark-colored race described as abscurus by Nelson. Identical (apparently breeding) specimens are at hand from Sola Oaxaca, Oaxaca City, Rio Blanco Chiapas, Jitotal, Chiapas, etc.
Examined and compared at London, (ex Cambridge Mus) Sept. 23/1933.

WY Qphelocoma californica californica (Vigors) "G. palliatus de Drapiez" TYPE
52,6B Brussels. Wing 120, tail *133, culem from base 30.0, from nostril 21.5, depth, shot, tarsus 37-2, middle toe minus claw 22.5.
Mounted bird in very bad condition - central pair of tail feathers shot off near bases; culmen broken by shot at nostrils; all primaries of left wing missing; no sex indicated but definitely a bird of the year as shown by narrow rectrices & lst year primaries: young bird just completing first fall plumage.
This is "californica" in all particulars - underparts very pale - under tail coverts not blue (partly missing).
I cannot find this name in synonymy, but should it appear the name is of certain subspecific application. It is cited in synonymy by Bonaparte (Notes Orn. Del.) but with no reference.
In Dubois register appears | "5246B~—type du G. palliatus de Drapiez (Coll. Drapiez)
This name is not in either the early Paris edition of Dict. Classique - nor in the later Brussels (Drapiez) work. Brussels, July 12, 1939.
This specimen is identical in coloration with 3 speci- mens from "San Francisco".
Bonaparte cites G[arrulus] palliatus Drapiez, p. 377. * To tips of second pair of rectrices - central pair missing. Check Zool.Journ. from vol. 1 on Vigors remarks. Ae Je Van Rossem

Aphelocoma sordida
Garrulus sordidus Swainson Type
No number. Collection - Cambridge. Wing 175, tail 158, culmen 29, depth 12, tarsus 45, middle toe minus claw 25. Bullock. Locality - "Mexico". ("Real del Monte]". Probably a lapsus and bird really from Temiscaltepec.
Garrulus sordidus Sw. Bullock Mexico
There is a size discrepancy between Swainson's original description (Philos. Mag. N. S. 1, June, 1827, 437) and his more detailed account (Zool. Tlustr. 2, Series 2, 1832, pl. 8&6 and text) published five years later. In the first he gives "total length, 11 inches; bill, 1-1/4; wings, 6-1/2; tall, 6-1/2; tarsi, 1-1/2". In Zool. Dllustr. he gives "Total length, 14 in.; bill, 1-1/2; wings 7; tarsi 1-7/10; tail, 6-1/2 in." Since even in the later publication he is specific about having only one specimen thege cannot be more than a holotype.
"The Garrulus_sordidus inhabits the table land of Mexico from whence our specimen was received".
The Cambridge specimeng suppljsmeasurements almost exactly as given by Swainson in Zodél. Illustr. and is unquestionally the type. It is filled with stuffing which is not usual with Bullock skins, - however the specimen is otherwise "Bullock",
Very dirty below - hence "sordidus". Typical of the race now known as sieberii (Wagler) this latter becoming a synonym of sordida and potosina Nelson being resurrected.
Remarks: Fresh winter plumage - probably a male. July 4, 1938.

Qohelocoma ultramarina ultramarina Bonaparte Corvus ultramarinus Bonap. TYPE
Garrulus ultramarinus of Vonspectus, pe. 378, part, ref. but not descript.
No number. Leiden. Wing 181, tail 172, exp. culmen 28.4, from nostril 21.5+, depth at base 10.34 & base 11.2, tarsus 42.4, middle toe minus claw’22.8, tail grad. 20), “Cats ui Mexico.
Cat. No. 1- Garrulus ultramarinus Bp. indiv. fig. Pl. col. 439 indiv. type de la Cyanocitta Sieberi de Bonaparte Consp. 1, p. 378 Mexique.
Mounted bird in good condition, plumage showing a slight amount of abrasion; evidently collected in spring.
No sex indicated; definitely a one-year-old bird as shown by the relatively narrow, pointed rectrices. Mounted length 13-3/4". Bill slightly more prominently hooked at tip than shown in plate.
This is unmistakably the southern race (Sieberi Wagler; sordida Swainson). Temminck's plate matches exactly in detail of white exposed edge of left wing, but coloration of plate much too pale and too blue.
Schlegel's catalogue (1, 1867 Uaracas, p. 64) gives, under Garrulus ultramarinus, "1.-—Individu du Mexico, figure dans Temm., pl. col. 439 sous le nom de Garrulus ultramarinus, et la type de la Cyanocitta Sieberi, Bonap. Consp. 1, pe 378 Temminck, in the text to * plate 439. (7L° Liv.), says Garrulus ultra- marinus. C. Bonap.

G@phelocoma unicolor unicolor (Du Bus) Cyanocorax unicolor Du Bus TYPE
Bull. Acad. Roy. Sci. Belg., 14, pt. 2, 1847, seance de 7 aout, p. 103.
No. 5211. Brussels. Wing 172, tail 165, exp. culmen 29.5, from nostril 22.1, depth at nostril 11.5, tarsus 43.0, middle toe minus claw 24.0, tail grad. 27.4, = [Ghiesbrecht] "Tabasco".
Mounted bird in good condition; pale blue eyes; plumage spring or early summer by wing & tail abrasion; fully adult; sex not indicated; probably male.
By comparison with available specimens from Vera Paz, Guatemala, this specimen is, definitely, of the race now known as coebestis Ridgway. This might have been pre— dicted on the published measurements alone]!
The original description was non-determinable on the basis of subspecific status - the only locality was "NYexique"; there was no indication of restricted locality and only the introductory statement thatethe various species there described were in the Brussels Musewn. How- ever, in the text of Esquire Ornith., pl. there is plenty of good evidence, not only as to number of speci- mens but of the various localities from which Du Bus had seen examples. These are "Tabasco, and San Pedro, near Oaxaca, in the cold comtry, and Tepitongo in the temperate country. I have also seen specimens from Vera Paz, Guatemala". There is also the observation that young birds have parti-colored bills (mandibles) and that the adults have bills entirely black. The original de- scription called for a black bill and 5211 is the only Mexican adult he had; furthermore the "over-all" length — the only measurement given in the original description - 33 cm. - is that of 5211. As contributary evidence, the measurements given in detail in plate apply only to this bird.

Dubois has entered both 5211 and 4243 (see postea) as "type" in the register which gives the locality for 52i1l as "Tabasco" — hence Giesbrecht was the collector.
Both of the other Mexican specimens are darker, more purplish, blue and both are young birds; they are good examples of what is currently known as "unicolor" {but not of Du Bus].
4232. "OQ", wing 152, tail 154, bill 28.8, depth 11.1, tarsus 38.7, mid. toe cl. 24.1, tail grad. 36.0.
Definitely a bird of the year just completing the post juvenile moult; Dubois has labelled it "92 type" (presumably because it was the only other Mexican specimen in the old Brussels collection); the register shows it to have been collected at 'Tepitongo"” by Galeotti.
(Galeotti was at Tepitongo in Septexber, 1843).
5213. "dd", wing 160, tail 158, bill 29.5, depth d1.2, tarsus 41.0, mid. toe cl. 21.4, tail grad. 45.0
Like 4232, definitely a bird of the year, with mandible still partly bicolored at base. It is from the old Du Bus collection and though ticketed only as from "Mexique" is shom by the register as coming from "San Pedro, near Oaxaca", It is like the foregoing 4232, definitely "unicolor". Whether the collector was Galeotti or Ghiesbrecht I do not know. Since it was taken, obviously at the same time of the year, I suspect the former.
Brussels - July 12, 1939 - all factors reconsidered July 19 and July 25, 1939.

Archiplanus sclateri Dubois
Agelaius sclateri Dubois TYPE
8764. Brussels. Wing 100, tail 94, culem from shield 26.7, depth at base 13.5, tarsus 27.6, middle toe minus claw, bent "Ecuador"
Skin in good state of preservation - "Quito!" make and poorly prepared. I do not know the characters of immature for this species, but believe the in- dividual to be immature because of the brownish black wings, and tail (save for some of the secondary coverts) while the rest of the plumage is velvety intense black.
The tag is written by Dubois, including the in- scription "Type". Brussels, July 29, 1939.
This genus is very close to Amblycercus - rather the monotypic Amblycercus could easily be placed in Archiplanus the members of which differ consider= ably among themselves.

Balanosphyra formicivora formicivora (Swainson) Picus melanopogon Temminck Type
No. 10544.’ Collection - Berlin. Wing 13405, tail 7505, culmen 25.5, tarsus 22.0, middle toe minus Claw 17.5. Deppe. Xalapa.
Picus formicivorus Sw. Tem. 1827 Xalapa 10544 DeppeS.
Mounted bird in fair condition. An adult female; plumage fresh as though taken in early fall just after the post-juvenal moult.
Lichtenstein had three birds from Mexico, the types of his Picus melampogon (Preiz-Verz Mex. Vég., 1830, pe 1). These birds are still in the Berlin Museum, numbered 10542, 43 and 44 respectively. One of these (Planches Col., IV, livr. 76, March, 1828, pl. 451 and text) was figured as the type of "Picus melanopogon Licht", Supposedly a male, but actually a female. Number LO544 best fits the plate in fact matches it exactly, and is therefore the type. The other two birds in the Berlin Museum are from Xalapa (2) and Temascaltepec (d) (by Deppe) respectively. 7
Examined by me at Berlin August 31 2953.
Note: Temminck's text; while stating that Lichtenstein had sent to him a specimen, indicates that the bird figured was retained in the Collection at Leyden. Possibly so - if no type there - then I am correct in supposing the above bird the type.

Buteogallus anthracinus anthracinus (Lichtenstein) Morphnus mexicanus DuBus TYPE
Bull. Acad. Roy. Sci., 14, pt. 2, 1847 (séance 7 Aug.) p. 102. | 4723. Brussels. Wing 375, tail 200, culmen from cere 27-1, depth at cere 17.1, tarsus 90, middle toe minus claw 43, middle claw, 21.0, hind claw 24.7.
Mounted bird, fuliy adult, undoubtedly a 2. In ex- cellent condition and plumage.
This specimen is the one upon which DuBus based his description, for it is the only adult from Tabasco and fits in all particulars. It was collected by Ghiesbrecht.

32.5, & nostril 26.4, depth at nostril 14.5, & base 16.2, tarsus 45.0, Commencing with outer pair, tail
feathers {on tamer we mm. show white\ on inner webs along the shaft for.
Badly mounted bird, though in good state of preservation. Collected in spring or early summer judging from plumage wear. An adult 2 to judge by the bluish intermixture on crovm and by heavy black malar mark,
This mark is decidedly heavier and more solid than is shown in the plate, - as if the artist had perhaps made a composit of the two specimens at hand. The "Cat. 2" is a male (presumably) with black crom, nearly obsolete malar spot and a small isolated black spot below the auriculars. As is usual with Temminck's plates the blue as figured is much too pale and too pure. The back and wings, however, are approximately correct in color.

6970°. Brussels. Wing 70.5, tail 49.5, exp. culmen 9.5, tarsus 17.5, middle toe minus claw dik e:5:, Ghiesbrecht. "Tabasco". probably in early spring of 1838-1839.
Mounted bird in very good condition; apparently a fully adult male; plumage very slightly worn.
Wing & tail edgings light bluish green, not golden as in plate; greater coverts edged with light green, caerulean blue on outer webs terminally; crovn more greenish yellow than plate. However, pattern de- tails match and there can be no doubt that this is the type - just as listed by Dubois.
"6970b type Tabasco, Mexico (voy Ghiesbrecht)"
6970 Du Bois also has listed the second Tabasco speci- men mentioned by DuBus as a "type", but DuBus is explicit as to the individual which he has describ- ed and pictured and this second "type" is a para- type only.
"This new and charming species of the genus Calliste was discovered in the Province of Tabasco, Mexico by Mr. ALuguste] Ghiesbrecht, and sent by him to the Museum of Bruxells, in 1841".

Taken down from mounts — both birds in very poor condition and probably considerably faded. In their present condition they are not in good shape for comparison. The under tail coverts, of the only specimen of wiich there is mich of anything left, are immaculate buff. However they are eastern whippoorwills, pure and simple, and the name macromystax is a synonym of vociferous! Types examined by me at Mllnich on August 19, 1933.

This comes dangerously. close to being a synonym of similis for the two males could easily pass for typical examples of that form! The female is a typical dark billed mesorhyncms. Since this is the only specimen to which Cabanis & Heine's description of "Schnabel hell bl¥uich - hornfarben" applies it is most logical to designate it as the type. Otherwise a new name mist be coined for the Costa Rican race.

706ly Brussels. Wing 77, tail 45, exp. culmen 8.9, depth 6.8, tarsus 18.5, middle toe minus claw 13-7.
Mounted bird in good condition - apparently adult 2, plumage fresh.
Dubois catalog lists four individuals from the DuBus collection, the present one being the only ad. 9 from Mexico. Plate and measurements match the specimen.
Brussels, July 14, 1939.
Although there is no indication of locality either on the stand or in Du Bus text it seems most likely that this moulting specimen and also a young bird in mixed post-juvenile moult were taken at San Pedro Nolasco near Oaxaca by Galeotti in September 1838 or 1839. "Tabasco" by Ghiesbrecht is not probable, for his birds from there are either spring or early Summer. Miradar, the only other highland locality in which Ghiezbrecht collected (so far as I know) might be designated.

It was sent to Temminck b von Neuwied under the MS. name of Falco vitticaudus, at probably the same time that von Neuwied sent Temminck notes on colors of soft parts (see footnote to 3rd page of text). Six years later von Neuwied issued his own description with the specific reference to plate 103, together with the statement that Temminck's description was a composite of two distinct species. His action necessarily restricts the name uncinatus to the species figured in plates 104 and 115.

Strix squamulata Bonaparte TYPE
No number, Leiden. Wing 252, tail 147, culmen 18.2, tarsus -, middle toe minus claw 30.
Mounted bird in not too good condition. A juvenile which is just moulting the last down — though the nape is composed entirely of juvenile feathers. Definitely reddened through exposure to light and probably somewhat paler from the same cause.
Ground color of under parts white with a slight creany tinge; white spots (cream-colored) on head sagittate rather than crescentic [ this size]; spotting on back much more prominent than in the 5 Guatemala specimens with which it has been compared; tarsi immaculate buffy white; striping on underparts 5 mm. broad; tail with 4 bands (6 mm.) and tip (10m) of dull white freckled with grayish brown; tail fuscous brown (originally probably grayish brow).

1853-419 12,575 Collection - Paris. Wing 100.0, tail 51.0, culmen 12.1, [d] tarsus 27.5, middle toe minus claw 21.0. Delattre. Locality - NGalaf orice, é
Mounted bird in fair condition. A fully adult male, though not so marked. On the bottom of the stand is "de Californie, acquis a M. Delattre, en 1853 (Cat. No. 419), Eupsychortyx Sclateri Bp. 12575" This bird is a typical ."leylandi". While there is no indication that this bird is the type the probabilities are that such is the case. In the catalogue for 1853 I find that this is the only Ortyx listed in a lot of 70 birds acquired from Delattre and which contained the types of several of Bonaparte's new species. Presumably it is the

5216. Brussels. Ving 191, tail 158, culmen from nostril 26.0, depth at nostril 14.5, tarsus 49.8, middle toe minus claw 28.3. "Mexique”.

Dubois has marked these on the register as types, pre- sumably correctly since he knew DuBus and the birds with which he was dealing. Both localities are questioned on the present labels. Popelaire collected extensively in Peru. There is, in the register another specimen from "Cerca de Angostura "(Venezuela)" from Parzudaki.
Mounted birds in good condition. Plumage of both is relatively fresh - winter or early spring. Both are "twins" for coloration, save that 5217 is very
slightly paler below. Brussels July 19, 1939.
The individual which is the actual type will have to be picked from DuBus texte

Cyanocitta turcosa Bonaparte TYPE
Bp. Coll, Del. 1.8.
5227. Brussels. Wing 137, tail 150, culmen from nostril 21.2, depth at nostril ies tarsus 42.0 middle toe minus claw 20.5. "Ecuador",
Mounted bird in good condition save that most of right rectrices are missing as are also feathers from chin and left malar region. Plumage quite fresh and no fade apparent anywhere. Tail in moult on latteral rectrices.
In the register of Dubois this is entered along with 5228 as "determiné par Bonaparte". It was purchased from Verreaux - but in what year is not stated,
If these two be cotypes - as seems probable, then the name turcosa very much better fits the turquoise colored "Colombia" specimen than it does the distinctly violaceous specimen at present marked as the type.
5228. Wing 147, tail 160, culmen from nostril 21. 3. ses at nostril 1223, tarsus 43.3, middle toe minus claw 22.6, "Colombie'.
Mounted bird in good condition - ex Verreaux and accord ing to the register determined by Bonaparte himself.
5227 Matches exactly some recent Ecuadorian specimens heree
Hellmayr says type in Paris - who is right 22?
A specimen from "Colombie" (ex Verreaux) is mich lighter and more greenish blue - in fact it lacks any violaceous shade anywhere.

"This is probably a new species. It is most like traillii in coloration but has outer webs of exterior rectrices white, as in obscurus. Se
This is the eastern race of traillii.flot sexed - evidently a male. So grease stained and dirty that most of the color characters are lost — how- ever the wing bars are whitish, not buffy, and the bill is small. The outer web is by no means pure white. I can nearly or quite match it with several eastern specimens of traillii.

This is a dark colored bird, the extreme of the Central American type. Indeed the streaks on the chest and neck are so black and broad, and the feathers of the head and neck are so dark that should all (so) Mexican birds prove the same it might be necessary to recognise three races.
Skin in fair condition, possibly never mounted. Plumage abraded and tail in moult. Another feature is that the tail is uniform slate — black on the under surface. The terminal white spots measure (from the outside pair first) 30-15 and 6 m. respt. center pair (of course not tipped, 3rd

Geranospiza niger niger (DuBus) Ischnosceles niger DuBus TYPE
Bull. Acad. Roy. Sci. Belg., 1847, 14, pt. 2 (séance de. Ainets) pen 102.
4437 Brussels. Wing 331, tail 252, culmen from cere 20.0, base at cere 13.1, tarsus 91.0, middle toe minus claw 38.7.
A fully adult bird (mounted); sex not indicated but without doubt a female; red eyes; plumage fresh.
Abdominal region, thighs, and under tail coverts very narrowly tipped with white; larger under tail coverts tipped with wnite for 5-S mm.$ chin and larval region pale gray; edge of wing with narrow ( 1 mn.) light barring. Otherwise entire body plumage dark slate color - blackish plumbeous - paler enteriorly and on crown. Tail banded on central rectrices as follows (dorsally) commencing with tips: 5 mm. gray; 47 m. black; 33mm. gray; 72 mm. black; 25 mm. white; thence mixed black & white to base secondaries & wing plumage color of body; primaries slaty black; dark areas in tail black with slaty tinge.
There is no locality other than "Mexique". The bird was acquired from Verheyen, but otherwise there are no data. There is the further notation that this part of the register was listed by Dubois (in 1897) as the type. Prepared with DuBus. Brussels, July 14, 1939.
DuBus (Esquir. Orn., liv. 4, 1848, pl. 16) makes it clear that the bird figured is the type and only specimen known to him. Details of tail match exactly - specimen plate. There is no further clue as to locality. July 2), 1939. It is not likely that fade is responsible for the relatively gray color for it was originally described as "cinerasceuti-niger".

Skin in excellent condition, well prepared and well shaped. An adult male by plumage [marked as d] and, in spite of the relatively late date, showing but little abrasion.
Tail with much more of white on all rectrices than venustus, 3rd pair from outside with a well developed white terminal area 12 mm, long along shaft on inner web and 16 mm. on outer. 4th pair with narrow (2 mm.) terminal white tips on both webs. Sides of face uniform black (note plumbeous or blackish plumbeous as in venusta) - this confluent with the black pectoral band. Underparts more vermillion (less rosy) red than venustus and distinctly brighter. Upper parts slightly paler and bluer gray.
1588. B.M. Similar to above, but with even more white on 3rd and Ath pair of rectrices. Wing 61, tail 68, exp. culmen 12.5, depth at base 4.8, tarsus 19.5, middle toe minus claw 10.4, width at nostril 4.2. 5/4/89 San Blas. Richardson, british Museum, August 17, 1939.
98.12.1.827 B.li. Comitan, Chiapas, Richardson, April 20, 1897 6 ad. is venustus so far as tail markings, wing length, slightly darker dorsal coloration, and more rosy (less vermillion) underparts are concerned. It is a flat remnané of a skin-almost destroyed by (apparently, heavy shot at close range and most of the head and hindneck are missing. Due to distortion, etc.

I cannot be sure, but this may represent another race, the characters of which are chin and upper throat (only) white, lower throat black iike pectoral band which (together) are 12 mn. wide instead of 3-5 as
in venustus and melanotis. Crown, sides of head and sides of neck shot away as no comparison of these parts possible.
Characters of melanotis are black auriculars confluent
with pectoral pand (instead of’ plumbeous) sides paler- underpart more vermillion (less rosy). ‘See measurement sheet for BoC. & U.S.NeM. specimen.

Written by Stresemann->Kadiak. Billings legewritten by Stresemann.
Two type tags attached - one Muscicapa guttata Pallas
and the other Turdus pallasi Cab.
This is the original Pallas type, and I suppose that because suttata was the first re- ference given by Cabanis it might be considered the type of pallasi also.
Mounted bird in pure juvenal plumage, with wing and tail feathers evidently fully grown out. Plumage definitely reddened by age of course.
Examined at Berlin September 2, 1933.

Icterus auratus Bonaparte
Ict[erus] auratus "DuBus" Bonaparte TYPE
No. 7107. Brussels. Wing 94.5, tail 87.5, culmen base 19.6, depth at base 10.8, tarsus 24.0, middle toe minus claw 15.9. Ghiesbrecht - in 1838 or 1839. Yucatan.
Mounted bird in very good condition; orange eyes; an adult, probably a male; plumage warm as though collected in summer.
Dubois has a note written in his register as regards this specimen -"a translation"-"Remarks: Bonaparte
has based his description after the individual at Brussels, and also indicated 1rucatan as the locality of its origin. This individual at the Museum accords entirely with his description and is the only one which came from the locality mentioned." It appears certain that No. 7107 is the type of the species.
This species certainly has no very close relationship
with cucoulatus. Note very stout, straight bill of typee Ridgway gives depth as al 8.6 mn.

Pendulinus xanthornus
Var.: Dubusii Recd from J. Verreaux Dubois under the LliS name of Type Xanthornus Dubusii. Loc. Panama 7108
In the Dubois handwritten register this specimen and 7LO&b were originally listed as from "Cote ferme" - this crossed out and "Isthmus de Panama" substituted. A footnote remark says "it is characterized especially by the black spots on the back",
Mounted bird in good condition; yellow eyes; plumage worn with resultant narrow edgings to wings. I an inclined to believe it a female — even though catalogued as "dg" — this because of the slightly in- pure yellow of back & upper rump and rusty tinge to ends of primaries.
Wing coverts basally extensively black; outer primaries edged with white only beneath primary coverts (con- cealed). Greater coverts and secondaries very narrowly edged with white - this latter condition, in part at least, due to wear.
7LO8b (w.89) In the accompanying bird - a 2 so marked wear is even more evident, but traces of black back spotting remain. Otherwise similar to type save that wing coverts (lesser & middle) have only traces of
black. Brussels July 13, 1939.
Dubus has both birds marked as "type" but he describes only the "male" and his wing measurement (exactly mine) corresponds to only 1 specimen.

No number. Collection - Munchen. Wing right 78.0, deft 77.5, tail 69.5, exp. culmen 11.1, tarsus right 21.6, left broken, middle toe minus claw right IZ01, left 14.0, Keerl. "Mexico",
Skin, taken down from mount, in very bad cone dition. Gives the impression of having been mummified by immersion in some liquid. Mandible missing entirely, maxilla blackish horn color. Right tarsus broken off and hanging by wire, tarsi and feet pale dull yellow. Plumage abraded as -though taken in mid-summer, abrasion not excessive however. Greater coverts, (outer webs) "tertials" (outer webs) and scapulars reddish like back though slightly duller. Outer tail feather white for 47 mm. along vane on outer web, though dusky for the terminal 17 mm.; second entirely dusky on outer web and white for 34 mm. on inner web (along the vane), the white intruding along the vane as a wedge 11 mn, long - that is the white extends only 23 mm. along the edge of the inner web. 3rd, Ath & "deck" pair entirely dusky though with grayish edgings on the outer webs. Rump inclining to olive.
Type examined by me at Munchen August 21,
Note for Miller. -— Have you considered the possibilities of some of the S. A. Poospiza being in reality Junco? Particularly personata, Salvin from the Peruvian Andes and laeta Salvin of the Same mountain? They are much more "Junco" to
superficial appearances at least than is vwulcani.

Mounted bird in good condition; apparently a fully adult female; plumage shows but slight abrasion any- where.
Tail band varying 45-50 mm. across both webs of all rectrices; lightly streaked on shoulders as show in plate.
"3184 ad Mexique (von Ghiesbreght) Type
DuBus states that his type came from 1'Hacienda de Miradar, some leagues from Vera Cruz. Brussels, July 14, 1939.
Translationof "the discovery of this remarkable bird is due to M. Aug. Ghiesbreght, of Bruxelles, — who in 1838 and 1839 explored, by order of the government, the different provinces of Mexico."
But so far as I know he was only in Vera Cruz, Tabasco, and Yucatan!
The other specimen mentioned by DuBus "killed at Tepitongo in Septanber, 1843". This specimen was donated to the Museum by Ghiesbreght in 1856 — hence possibly he made other trips or possibly he acquired the bird fyom Galeotti,

Dr. Stresemann tells me that Beske was a dealer in bird skins at Hamburg and that his son in America sent him specimens from there. They were mostly marked "Nord Amerika" but occasionally an additional locality ranging from New York, New Jersey, Virginia, Carolina and Georgia were added. These, nowever are thoroughly unreliable for a perasal of the old catalogues shows many impossible locality records.

Nuttallornis borealis Myiarchus villicus Lichtenstein Types
Muscicapa mesoleuca "
No. 2402. Collection - Berlin. Wing 102.0, tail 71.5, culmen 16.5, "mas", ‘tarsus 15.2, middle toe minus clawi11.5, Deppe. Locality - Oaxaca.
‘No. 2403. Collection - Berlin. Wing 108.0, tail 72.0, culmen 18.7, tarsus 15.3, middle toe minus claw 11.6.. Deppe. Locality - Oaxaca.
Hellmayr has designated 2402 as the type of Lichtenstein's \uscicapa mesoleucus, a proceeding which would have been entirely within his rights as a revisor if either of these two birds were identifiable as the basis of the exceedingly sketchy description. Lichtenstein's description of Muscicapa mesoleucus appeared in the well known list of Mexican bird names (Preiz-Verzeichnis mexicanischer Végel, 1830, page 2.. It reads "Muscicapa mesoleuca Licht. Graugrinlich, mit weisslicher Kehle und dergl. Bauch". Now by no stretch of the imagination could the olive sided flycatcher be described as grayish green and that Lichtenstein had an entirely different bird in: hand is evident not only from the description but. from the following facts. The two specimens collected by Deppe at Oaxaca were the basis of Lichtenstein's name of Myiarchus villica - a nomen nudum which appeared in Les Nomenclator Avium lus. Berol., 1854, p. 16, since both of them _are labelled

Ze It is incomcievable that Lichtenstein would have called these birds mesoleuca in one description and later given them another name with no word of explanation. Furthermore Cabanis and Heine in the list of synonyms of Contopus cooveri Jie Nuttalornis borealis] in Mus. Hein. 2, 1859, p.72, list villicus as a synonym of that species. Certainly they never associated the name mesoleucus with the olive sided flycatcher.
- There is a specimen of a South American fly- catcher in the Berlin Museum labelled M. mesoleuca N. is Montevideo 2506 Salle It is the only flycatcher in the collection bearing a label (old ‘or’new) with such | name inscribed. This bird (fide Dr. Stresemann) was in the collection at Berlin at the time Muscicapa mesoleuca was described _and is, therefore, without doubt the bird Lichtenstein had in hand at the time. Moreover it is a gray-green bird with whitish throat and belly, thus in accord with the description. It is. probable that this name appeared in the- list of Mexican birds through oversight for in the aforementioned Nomenclater. (1854) Lichtenstein lists two specimens of "Myiarchus’ villicus" frem.Mexico and one specimen of "Elaenea mesoleuca" from:-Montevideo, . :
3 Cabanis and Heine, five years after Lichtenstein Nomenclatar appeared described (Mus. Hein. 2, 1859,
pe 60) the identical species under the name of Elaenia mesoleuca, basing their description on a specimen in

Oriturus mexicanus Bonaparte TYPE
(Consp. Gen. Avium, 1, 1850, 469).
No number. Leiden. Wing 78, tail 72.5, exp. culmen 15.2, depth at base 10.0, tarsus 25.8, middle toe IMinus claw 16.3. "Mexique2.
Mounted bird in good condition; an adult with little or no abrasion apparent on plumage — hence probably callected in midwinter or fall. Itis typical of the southern race with rather dark olive brown hue latterally on the underpart and reddish brown margins dorsally.
There is one old label on the stand Aimophila superciliosa Sw. Mexique.
The Aimophila superciliosa is written by quite another hand than the locality, and careful comparison of Temminek's writing apparently fixes him as the author. The Mexique" is written by the same person who inscribed the label on the stand of Oriturus wrangeli (which see) and the two specimens would, therefore, seem to be con-
temporary. This is the only superciliosa in the collection = old or new — and there can be little doubtt as to its authenticity as the type.
Qriturus Bp. has many years priority over Plagiospiza Ridg. Bonaparte explains his transposition of the "description" of mexicanus, and wrangeli in Compt. Rend: Acad. Sci. Paris, 43, no. 8, 1856; p. 413, - states that his genus Oriturus should not be re- cognized since it is composed only of what he now knows to be only Aimophila superciliosa Swainson and Pipilo crissalis. His words are "Le genre
a
; i 7 !
Oriturus doit etre abali: des deux espéces dout il
se composait, le type du Mexique Or. mexicanus de mon conspectus est 1' Aimophila superciliosa, Sw. (1).
Le seconde espéce Or. wrangeli, Brandt, de 1' Amerique russe et non de la Siberie, et un Pipilo & queue wn
peu plus allongée que dans les antres, dout P. crissalis ne semble meme pas différer."
Hellmayr is, of course, completely wrong in his allocation of Oriturus to Pipilo. Bonaparte's original diagnosis is not a nomen nudum even though inadequate until later clarified.

Passerculus alaudinus Bonaparte Fne Ll ype
No. - Collection -. Wing - left 63.0, right 64.0, Tail from insertion of deck pair 43, exp. culmen 10.7, base 11.4, depth at base 6.0, tarsus - left 17.5%, right 17.7*, middle toe minus claw, left 13.0, right 13.1. Locality - California.
The type is a mounted bird in abraded, midsummer plumage, hence taken in the late breeding season or in early fall before the moult. It is, without any question whatever an example of the race now known as bryanti Ridgway and was compared with other examples of "bryanti" in the Paris Museum. While in proportion, in- cluding size and shape of bill, and in fact in no way can be referred to any race other than "bryanti" it is abnormal to the extent that it is partially albinistic. The whole nape, back and upper rump is variegated with white and the entire underparts are affected to the extent that the streaking is greatly reduced in color (brown instead of black) and is reduced to a minimun. : The streak over the eye tinged with yellow and there are remains of a yellow wash on the cheeks also. Both tarsi have been broken and jambed up in wiring, though this is not noticeable except on close examined.
On the bottom of the stand is written "acquis' a M. Delatre (sic), an de 1853 (Cat. No. 391) California". In a different band is "Passerculus alaudinus Bp. (Type)".
Reference to the catalogue shows that this speci- men came to the Museum with a small collection from Delattre. There are three"Emberiza's" cited in the list, one of which was made the type of Haemdophila ruficauda - the other I cannot trace, nor is there a record of it.

Passerculus sandwichensis anthinus Bonaparte
Peasserculus anthinus Bonaparte TYPE |
178. Brussels. Wing 71, tail 52, exp. culmen 9-7, depth at base 5.0, tarsus 19.9, middle toe minus claw 14.5. Kadiak.
Mounted bird in fairly good condition, though poorly postured; a bird of the year in complete post—juvenile plumage save for a few upper and under tail coverts which are juvenile. Thus probably taken not far from its birth locality. No sex indicated.
Exposure to light has obviously caused considerable fade, for the right side is notably more bleached than the left; superciliary stripe (now) pale yellow, and whole head bears traces of suffusion of this color - probably originally mich more prominent than now. Likewise,
by disarranging the dorsal plumage it is obvious that the brovms and clay—color edgings were more pronounded than the exposed portions of the plumage show at pre- sent. There is no doubt whatever that this individual is a normal example of the "VWiestern Savanna Sparrow". Streaking on pectoral region & flanks dark, reddish brown -— relatively narrow.
This bird is from the DuBus collection according to Dubois catalogue, along with nine others from various parts of the United States and Mexico. It is entered as 178 Kadiak (type de l'anthinus Bp.) Coll. D.B.
It is of interest to note that in the old Brussels collection there is the following contributory evidence
789 [loc.] ? type du parnirostris Bp. UB. [Mus.
Brussels] with a footnote - (translation)
"This name is probably unpublished. It was so written on the old stand by Bonaparte himself."

Mounted bird in good condition; an adult male in good plumage with a slight amount of abrasion evident on tips of wing & tail -— hence probably spring or early summer.
Marked in the register by Dubois as "8214. d = liexique - ? (type de taeniata BB).
There are three birds in the collection (and register), the above No. 8214; 8214b and 8214 y. These latter two were secured from Parzudaki, evidently at a date later than the first because DuBus! description con- tains no reference to the 2 — which surely would have been described had he seen it. His description fits well with the above 8214 - including the "total length". The Parzudaki birds are much longer. &t any rate the two later birds are typical of southern Mexico in large size and olivaceous coloration. The type is darker, still more richly colored, is smali in all dimensions and is certainly "aurantiacus".

Mounted bird in good condition, plumage so slightly abraded that the bird must have been taken in midwinter or early spring at the latest. A fully adult male. The bronze rump is mixed with violet but this circumstance is because some of the upper tail coverts and rump feathers have been pulled out, thus exposing the violet sub-terminal portions of the remaining feathers, Plumage rough - not smooth as in the north-western race. It is unquestionally the eastern race that bears this name. While Stresemann has selected 7397 as the type, there is another Deppe taken skin which is probably a cotype.

Tiaris bicolor adoxa (Gosse) Spermophila adoxa Gosse TYPE ?
8146. Brussels. Wing 52, tail 41, exp. culmen 8.1, depth at base 6.8, tarsus 15.1, middle toe minus clawll.4 "9" Aug. 9, 1845. Jamaica (Grand Vale).
Mounted bird in fair state of preservation, plumage rather worn and definitely juvenile plumage, primaries of left wing missing as though wing had been shot off at wrist joint. Once in the DuBus collection.
Color definitely browner both above and on sides than in adults but otherwise there is nothing to dis- tinguish this from female bicolor.
This is entered in Dubois catalogue as the type of adoxa. There was also another specimen in the DuBus collection bearing Gosses label "sp. adoxa?" but although the bird has been destroyed the old ticket is preserved and pasted to the register along with the ticket for 8146 which is by Gosse himself accord- ing to DuBus notation on the back.
Umber belly Quit Spermophila adoxa.
Since Gosse records having taken but one specimen this must be the type. However Hellmayr says the type in the BoM. J! Determine which.
Brussels, July 18,1939.
Gosse's measurements accord with my own. Considering the fact that his measurements for "bicolor" and Nadoxa" are almost identical it is difficult to understand why the name was misapplied to the smaller Olivacea. The name adoxa, of course, has many years priority over marchii Baird.

Pil, Col. (oun live, pi. 441 Purported Type.
No number. Leiden. Wing lle, tail 112, culmen 29.0, tarsus 38.0, middle toe minus claw 25.5.
Although bearing an old label, "Pomatorhinus turdinus/ P. grivelé Temm. pl. col. 441 / Inde" and the more recent inscription "Type", this specimen would appear to have no standing even as a cotype. Both plate and description call for an individual with all rectrices save the center pair tipped with white — the above specimen has only the outer four pairs so marked. There are other discrepancies.
(Incidentally the artist got his numbers mixed for the plate has 7 rectrices on one side, five on the other)

These are,conchii in color and large, heavy bill. The females are nearer chloronotus in wing & tail. The male is good conchii in all particulars.

TYPE
No. 8212, Brussels. Wing 79, tail 70, exp. culmen 16.7, depth at base 7.7, tarsus 23.6, middle toe minus claw 13.5.
Mounted bird in good condition. Evidently a 2, although not so marked. Plumage fresh = collected certainly not later than early winter.
Differs from Ridgway's description of the 2 (p.225, pt. 3) as follows: hindneck between occiput and upper back distinctly paler than crown — almost ashy gray; back olive green, not grayish olive green; superciliary stripe dull orange yellow — not canary yellow; stripe on side of head blackish mouse gray with no shaft streaks of white; submalar streak broken and narrow (2 mm); chestnut breast band broken along sides, fading to pale olive brown & flanks.
This is the only specimen of the species in the register, where entered as 6212, ‘iype, Mexique (7)
Brussels, July 12, 1939.
Plate 26 (no text) pictures this specimen dated 1850 Brit. lus. Copy Bonaparte cites pl. 26 as 1850 -however possibly never published.
What is the date of plate 26 - Bonaparte's reference to
this plate suggests Dubus as the authority. Dubois cites Dubus as authority.

Mounted skins in good condition, 2409 of the 'nigricans" type with streaked under tail coverts. Plumage fresh and practically unabraded. 2410 of the Q@quatica type, white much restricted and under tail coverts heavily clouded with dusky. Plumage much abraded - taken in late summer or early fall before the moult. Stresemann has arbitrarily labelled 2410 as the type, though they are undoubtedly cotypes.

Setophaga picta guatemalas Subsp. a Setophaga guatemalae Sharpe TYPE
80.12.31.42. British Museum. Wing 68, tail 60, culmen 10.0, tarsus 17.0, middle toe minus claw 12.6, Bridges. Guatemala.
There is no original tag - simply the Eyton tag (1960) with the British Museum number on the reverse. It is this specimen the tail of which is figured in vol. 10 in the original description and is automatically the type, even though none is named directly. Note that Sharpe says that the Sabin-Godman material confirms his diagnosis.
An adult in perfect late fall plumage, the secondaries with no pale edging whatever, plumage very dark and rich, exactly like two specimens from Tactic and Santa Barbara in Vera Paz.
Skin in good condition. British iiuseum Auge 17, 1939.
The B. M. western Cordillera material is much more orange ventrally than the Vera Paz specimens. The type locality is undoubtedly Vera Paz but will have to be determined by investigation of Bridge's work.

Sicelis flaveola
[Sicalis] aureipectus Bonaparte TYPE ??
7370d Brussels. Wing 67, tail 44, exp. culmen 10.5, depth at base 7.9, tarsus 19.5, middle toe minus claw 13.0 "9". Colombia.
Mounted bird in fair condition, but lacking most of under tail coverts; rather worn immature plumage with a few new yellow feathers appearing on crown, flanks and throat; maxilla pale brown, mandible distinctly paler.
This is claimed as the type by Dubois, both in his hand written register and on the printed label. It was part of the DuBus collection and its very probable history is that it came to DuBus from Verreaux, for I find numbers close by, both before and following 7370d, which definitely did come from that source.
On the other hand Hellmayr (p. 322) has personally examined another "type" from Verreaux at Turind/ What is most likely is that Verreaux, following the custom of the day, marked both birds as types.
It is likely that two forms are involved here} Brussels, July 20, 1939. Comparison of Bonaparte's description with the present lived seems to match perfectly and to fit better
than Hellmayr's bird. The underparts are white — not buffy white as Hellmayr's account reads.

Dubois has registered the first as the type, a cir- cumstance which would be fairly conclusive were it note for the fact that this specimen was not re— ceived at the mseum until 1855 four years after the species was described! It came from Carron & Villardt who sent many Mexican birds to the Brussels Museum in 1855 and subsequent years, all of which were seemingly collected at or near Mirador. The other three are of the Du Bus Collection and surely one of these would be the type. Only on examination of the plate (if such exists) can determine which. At any rate all four are typical of the race of south- eastern Mexico, to which the name is currently applied. Brussels, July 14, 1939.
There is a published plate, - No. 37 in both the Tweedale and Zoological Society copies, dated "1851". There is no text but the plate is valid or of this date because properly named. 7375 b [designated as b’] is the speci- men figured. From whom obtained by Du Bus — or when - there is no indication. Most probably, however, Gallioti or Ghiesbrecht at Miradar in 1838 or 1837. Brit. ius. Auge 15, 1939. fey Vananoseen

Spinus pinus macropterus "Du Bus" (Bonaparte)
Chrysomitris macropterus Se ee,
Esquire Orn. plate 23, dated 1849.
7388e. Brussels. Ving 75, tail 46, exp. culmen 10.7, depth at base 6.8, tarsus 14.0, middle toe minus claw 11.0. Mexique.
Mounted bird in good cmdition except that the right tarsus is missing and replaced by wire. Apparently fully adult. Sex not indicated.
This bird is darker brovn above than "macropterus" of western and northwestern Mexico. Streaking below almost obsolete save on flanks and under tail coverts. Yellow on tail for slightly more than basal 3/5 laterally - 2/3 on next to middle pair of rectrices.
This is the only Dubus specimen from Mexico in Brussels according to Dubois register. There is no in- dication of locality other than that above i.e. "Mexique",
This individual has also been determined as the type by Meise and bears his tag to that effect. Brussels, July 12, 1939
No text — plate published 1849 - Brit. Mus. Copy London, Aug. ll, 1939.
Hellmayr, 1938, p. 271 says pl. 23 never published - however perhaps the text was.
Check on dates of authorship here!! Bonaparte's re- ference is to "pl.23" — of DuBus and this suggests DuBus as prior. However, see Ridg. remarks to Bonaparte reference p. 100-pt. 1l- Dates must be very close here.
