[109]. Slightly aberrant; see remarks under B. saturatus (p. 230).
[110]. See remarks under A. atricapillus (pp. 231, 232).
[111]. As Mr. Ridgway has lately pointed out, Cassin’s pacificus was clearly based on specimens of subarcticus, a very distinct race first recognized by Hoy in 1852. Hence the name pacificus must give place to saturatus, proposed by Mr. Ridgway for “a northern littoral form, of very dark colors.”
[112]. The supposed adult, described by Mr. Ridgway in the “History of North American Birds” (Vol. III, p. 148), proves to be an immature bird in its second year. The real adult, however, was figured in the second edition of this work.
[113]. “Darker (brownish-black) markings prevailing in extent over the lighter (nearly clear white) ones. Stripes beneath broad, brownish-black; those on the flanks cordate and transverse.”
[114]. The type of the adult striatulus has turned out to be merely a light-colored, faintly marked example of atricapillus.
