New North American Birds

Heermann's.There are types of about •6oofCassin's species, and 9of Peale's, and types of one or more species oi some twenty other American ornithologists, besides types of many species (about •o) described by foreign ornithologists of note.Not only has Mr. Stone given a list of the types in the Museum of the Academy, but in the case of species described in the Academy's ' Proceedings,' especially if North American, also the location of the types when not in the Academy's collection, if extant, and if believed to be not extant, this fact is also stated.The paper is thus an especially valuable one, and one involving great labor, for which Mr. Stone is entitled to the gratitude of his fellow ornithologists.•J. A. A. New North American Birds.--During the last few months Mr. Bangs and others have described several new species and snbspeciesof North American birds.Mr. Bangs has separated the Barred Owl of Texas, heretofore of late referred to <•yr•tœt•m •aebulosum alle•œ of Florida, as S. •. /tel•eoltim, • on the ground of its general lighter coloration.The Spruce Grouse of Labrador he has likewise described as Ca•zacttites canadensis labraclorœus, • basing the form on slight differences of coloration, more pronounced in the female than in the male.He has also (•haracterized a nexv Rail •rom Southern California as Rall•ts lez, t•es, a allied to R. obsole/us and R. beldœ•œ, from which it differs in being smaller, and also somewhat in coloration.Mr. Brewster has described a new Clapper Rail froin the South Atlantic coast as Railus crepih•ns zt, ayn½i; 4 a comparison of Georgia and East Florida birds with those from New York and New Jersey showing that the southern form is much darker, the underparts more ashy, and the under tail-coverts with fewer markings.Mr. XV.H. Osgood has given a new name• Chamwa jStsc/ala •wa, s to the form of XVren-Tit •hich has of late been regarded as true C. fzsciata.The type of C../itsciala appears to have come from southern California, and hence C.f. /te,s/ta;vœ is a synonym of truefascœala, the darker northern form being here named C.f. pt•cea.--J.
