bangs: birds from the cayman islands. 309 



lavender shimmer — bright hych-anger-red — (dark vinaceous, almost 

 always, more or less touched with lavender in true leucocephala); 

 outer surface of closed wing paler and duller blue, more greenish, — 

 much more as in A. l. caymanensis; shorter upper tail coverts, some- 

 times also longer upper tail coverts and lower rump feathers, more 

 or less extensively edged and tipped with red (Cuban examples of 

 true A. leucocephala seldom show such red markings, and when they 

 do only to a very slight extent). Brown noted the iris as brown 

 and the orbital skin as white to gra^-ish white, the tarsus as yellow.
