"Albatross" Lower California Expedition. Of this latter record 

 Dr. H. L. Clark states: that he believes that more specimens with 

 definite locality would probably serve as the basis for a new species. 

 The "Ara" specimens appear to be the first record of the species 

 from Galapagos Islands. 



Material examined: Two, Gardner Bay, Hood Island, Galapagos, 

 February, 1928. 



Discussion: Both of the "Ara" specimens from Galapagos are 

 unfortunately in poor condition owing to corrosion. They appear to 

 be H. impatiens, but are not typical specimens of this species. I am 

 indebted to Dr. H. L. Clark and Dr. Elizabeth Deichmann for 

 examination of these specimens.
