 Lucia). 



Margarops sanctse-hidx Sclater, Ibis, 4th ser., iv, Jan., 1880, 73 (Santa Lucia, 

 Lesser Antilles; coll. P. L. Sclater).— Allen, Bull. Nutt. Orn. Club, v, 1880,

 parison with C. herminieri). — Reichenow and Schalow, Journ. fiir Orn., 

 1880, 324 (reprint of orig. descr.). 



o One specimen, the type (no. 15056, coll. C. B. Cory). 



6 Iris dull green; feet bright yellow. (Semper, Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond., 1871, 268.) 



c One specimen. 



<i Two specimens. (Four additional unsexed specimens examined.) 



e Not having seen a specimen from St. Vincent I am in doubt as to its affinities. 

 The St. Vincent bird has (when not mentioned under the name C. herminieri) been 

 referred to C. sanctse-lucix , but it would not be at all surprising if it should be found 

 distinct. It is very possibly extinct.
