Now Corvus tasmanicus tasmanicus Mathews, 1912 . See Mathews, 1926: 390–402 ; Hartert, 1929a: 54 ; Mathews, 1930: 895 ; Blake and Vaurie, 1962: 277 ; Rowley, 1970 ; Schodde and Mason, 1999: 609–610 ; and dos Anjos, 2009: 634–635 . HOLOTYPE : AMNH 674707 , unsexed [male], collected in Tasmania , Australia , in 1876, from the collection of Walter Chamberlain. From the Mathews Collection (no. 3719) via the Rothschild Collection. COMMENTS: In the original description, Mathews gave his catalog number of the holotype and its bill measurement of 67 mm . Besides the Chamberlain label and Mathews and Rothschild type labels, it also bears a ‘‘Figured’’ label, indicating that it was the model for Mathews (1926 , pl. 590, opp. p. 390; text p. 391) where it is confirmed as the type of tasmanicus . On page 391, Mathews gave the following measurements: wing 362 mm , bill 61 mm , tarsus 72. Mathews’ measurements written on the reverse of Chamberlain’s label: wing 358, bill 67, tarsus 70. I measure wing 360, bill 66, tarsus 70. Rowley (1970: 32 , 53–55) elevated tasmanicus to species level, and Schodde and Mason (1999: 609–610) and dos Anjos (2009: 634–635) agreed.
