MYIARCHUS DSNIGRATUS Cory. 

 GRAND CAYMAN CRESTED FLYCATCHER. 



"Sp. Char. — Top of the head dark blackish brown; back dull olive 

 brown; sides of the head, cheeks, and ear-coverts dark brown, slightly 

 lighter than the crown; throat and breast ash gray, shading into dull 

 yellowish white on the belly and crissum; quill, very dark brown, some 

 of the feathers edged with \evy pale rufous; tail-feathers dark brown 

 edged with pale rufous on the inner webs; bill and feet black. 



"Length, 6.25; wing, 3.15; tail, 3.00; tarsus, .80; bill, .60. 



"Habitat. — Grand Cayman, West Indies. 



"This is a very dark species, easily distinguished fi'om an3^ other 

 West Indian form." (Original description.) 



This supposed form is unknown to me. The only example of the 

 genus that I have seen from Grand Cayman is without doubt referable 

 to M. sagrse sagrse, being absolutely indistinguishable from some 

 Cuban specimens.
