Abstract

This sixth part of "Type specimens of birds in the American Museum of Natural History" corresponds to taxa covered in Volume 10 of Peters' Check-list of birds of the world. The original description of each taxon has been consulted unless otherwise noted, coordinates given for type localities when possible, currently accepted names for the taxa included, and comments on taxonomic history provided. Three hundred sixty-four published names are treated. Types of six of these are not in AMNH, and one was discussed in an earlier list.
