the
Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS: In the original description, Stresemann designated as the
type
of
sinica
a female from Ching-Feng collected on
21 December 1897
. 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.
