o Messrs. Salvin and Godman had in hand specimens of this species collected on the 

 Tres Marias by Forrcr; whether these represent this or the resident island form I have 

 no means of ascertaining; at any rate, they cite both Grayson and Lawrence, as above, 

 and the only specimens taken by the former were the present form. 



b Four specimens. 



c Three specimens. 



d Sixteen specimens.
