COMMENTS: Mathews gave his catalog number of the
holotype
in the original description. Mathews’ catalog records that this specimen was the only
Corvus
specimen from among 16 Dawson River specimens of various species purchased from [C.A. and H.G.] Barnard. It bears Mathews and Rothschild type labels and the original label, annotated by Hartert on the reverse: ‘‘H. Barnard Coll.’’ Mathews’ measurements are written on this label: wing
317 mm
, bill 55, tarsus 64 (I measure wing 318, bill 56, tarsus 64).
