Richmond Index Notes --M

• This card is an example of many which clearly were cut from some printed work and pasted on the index card. The source of this printed work is a bit of mystery, but Steven Gregory (in litt. 2007.12.23) provides the most helpful observation regarding the possibilities.
• This card has an opening square bracket "[" before the name. This opening bracket is unmatched by a closing bracket. This conifiguration

  [ Motacilla

  is seen in the genus entry in the AOU CL 3^rd ed. p.327.
• The two images are not, however, identical. The version printed in the AOU CL has a wider space between the genus line and the citation line. Many of these printed cards show the oblong block-like dark mark seen in the upper left corner, the significance of which is unknown to me.
