VIREOSYLVA CALIDRIS BARBATULA (Cabanis). 

 BLACK-WHISKERED VIREO. 



Similar to T" e. harbade/i^is^ but dusky line along each side of i)ilinim 

 much less distinct, often obsolete, and olive-crreen of back duller and 

 gra3'er; diticring from T'i <: cnlidrhs in nuich paler and less ))uffy 

 superciliary stripe and auricular region, graver pileum, duller olive- 

 green of back, etc., and ])urer white throat and chest. 



Adult male.— Length (skins), 13-1-152 (142.5); wing, 77-82 (80.1); 

 tail, 51-61 (55.9); exposed culmen, 14-15.5 (14.9); depth of bill at 

 nostrils, 4-5 (4.7); tarsus, 17-20 (18.4); middle toe, 10-12.5 (11)." 



Adxdt female.— Length (skins), 120-140 (181.4); wing, 73-77 (75.5); 



type of T'. c. barbadensis (the only specimen examined from Barbados) is decidedly 

 browner above, both on back and pileum, than those from other islands, but the 

 specimen was first preserved in alcohol, which may possibly account for the differ- 

 ences in color; otherwise, the Barbados bird would have to stand by it.«elf, those 

 from Dominica, etc., constituting a separate form, Vlr,os;/lva calidris dominirana I^hw- 

 rence. Two adults (a male and a female) from St. Vincent are decidedly darker 

 above than specimens from other islands.
