[ Pipilo fuscus jamesi Townsend ]

Hellmayr (1938: 466) said that the type of this subspecies was at AMNH, and, in fact, Townsend (1923: 20, pl. 1) gave AMNH 131854 for the holotype when he described the form. All of the specimens of birds collected on the expedition of the U.S. Fisheries steamship Albatross in 1911 to the Gulf of California came first to AMNH and were all given AMNH numbers. Only later was the collection divided and half sent to USNM, including this holotype, where it now bears USNM 305936 (see Deignan, 1961: 636).
