This is the only specimen that came to AMNH from the Rothschild Collection with those data, and it bears a Rothschild type label. Stresemann did not mention other specimens. Stresemann, finding Corvus sinensis Latham, 1790 , to be unidentifiable and best considered a nomen oblitum and needing a name for Chinese birds, provided the name sinica , based on the Fujian specimen available to him.
