Todus m. exilis BARBOUR & BROOKS: Differs from T. m. multicolor GOULD in

b Ridgway (I.e.) suggests' T. pulcherrimus SHARPE may represent an extreme 

 variation of plumage of T. subulatus GRAY from Haiti, and this may be the correct 

 solution of a puzzling problem, but I have examined the type of T. pulcherrimus in 

 the British Museum and while it approaches nearest to T. subulatus, it can be dis- 

 tinguished at a glance from any specimen of that species seen by me.
