This third part of "Type specimens of birds in the American Museum of Natural History" continues the list begun by James C. Greenway, Jr., and corresponds to taxa covered in volume 7 of Peters' Check-list of birds of the world. In taxonomic order (according to Peters' Check-list), this section precedes part 4, which was published earlier. Four hundred forty-two published names are discussed herein. For each taxon, the type locality and currently recognized name are given; for many, comments on taxonomic history are provided.
