566 BIRDS OF THE GALAPAGOS ARCHIPELAGO— BIDGWAY. volxix. 



2.82; tail, 1.85; culmeu, 0.75 gouys, 0..30; wiiltli of mandible at base, 

 0.30; depth of bill at base, 0.;58; tarsus, 0.03; middle toe, 0.05. 



T am still somewhat doubtful whether the birds described above are 

 really the Cacionii.s pallida of Sclater and Salvin, not having been able 

 to comi^are them with a specimen from Indefatigable Island. The orig- 

 inal description, the brevity of which renders it unsatisfactory, certainly 

 does not agree well with any of the specimens examined, jyarticularly 

 in regard to the coloration of the under parts, which are described as 

 being pale ochraceous, the under surface of the two James Island and 

 single »Iervis Island s])e(*imens being essentially white, very slightly 

 tinged with butf-yellowish. Dr. Sharpe, however, in describing the 

 same specimen, says that the under parts are "white, slightly washed 

 with olive-yellow," which agrees very well with the specimens before 

 me. There are also some slight discrepancies in measurements, which, 

 however, may be the result of somewhat different methods of meas- 

 uring.^
