BANGS AND PENARD: SURINAM BIRDS. 51 



89. Crotophaga ani Linne. 



Five specimens, both sexes, Vicinity of Paramaribo, and Lelydorp, 

 April, May, and December. 



BUBONIDAE. 

 90. PULSATRIX PERSPICILLATA PERSPICILLATA (Latham). 



Six specimens, both sexes, Vicinity of Paramaribo, and Javaweg, 

 January, March, April, and May. 



The darker specimens are fully as dark above as P. p. saturata 

 Ridgway, but the breast and belly are conspicuously paler buff and 

 never show any cross barring. 



Birds from Trinidad are decidedly paler, and we name the island 

 form 



90a. PuLSATRIX PERSPICILLATA TRINITATIS, SUbsp. nOV. 



Type.— M. C. Z. 29,469. Adult. Trinidad. 1880? C. S. 

 Cazabon. 



Characters. — In general like P. p. pisrspiciUata (Lath.), but upper 

 parts and pectoral collar paler, not so sooty ; breast and belly average 

 slightly paler buff. 



Measurements. — Type, wing, 305; tail, 165; culmen from cere, 28. 



Remarks. — In color P. p. triniiatis is about intermediate between 

 P. p. perspicillata (Lath.) and P. p. sharpei Berk, although its range 

 is not geographically between the ranges of these two forms. The 

 above confirms Hellmayr's views (Nov. zook, 1906, 13, p. 45).
