Page 425, footnote h: For stolzmannii read stolzmanni. 



Page 426, footnote a: Elsenia hrowni Bangs is referred by Count von 

 Berlepsch (Proc. Fourth Int. Orn. Congr., Feb., 1907, 416) to E. 

 frantzii jmdico. Whether this diposition of E. hrowni is correct or 

 not, there can be no question that specimens (co-types) in the U. S. 

 National Museum are specifically quite distinct from E. frantzii. If, 

 therefore, E. hroiuni Bangs is identical with E. pudica Sclater the 

 latter should be called Elsenia pudica and not Elsenia frantzii pudica. 



Page 427, last paragraph of footnote: With more ample or satis- 

 factory material than that examined by me. Count von Berlepsch 

 has been able to differentiate several forms among the W^est Indian 

 Elsenix included in the present work under the general heading 

 Elsenia martinica 7nartinica, as follows: 



(/) Elxnia martinica [martinica}. Islands of Marie Galante, Guadeloupe, Dominica, 

 Martinique, and Santa Lucia. (Doubtfully, St. Christopher, Antigua, Montserrat, 

 and Barbados.) 



(2) Elsenia martinica riisii (Sclater). Islands of St. Thomas, St. Bartholomew, and 

 Cura(;ao. (Doubtfully, Virgin Gorda, Anegada, Anguilla, St. Eustatius, and Saba.). 

 Differing from E. m. martinica in being smaller and color of upper parts paler and 

 more grayish olive. 



(3) Elsenia martiyiica caymanensis Berlepsch. Islands of Grand Cayman and Little 

 Cayman. Similar in coloration to E. m. riisii but larger. 



(4) Elsenia martinica cinerescens (Ridgway). Islands of Old Providence and St. 

 Andrews, Caribbean Sea. Similar to E. m. martinica but larger; bill, wings, and tail 

 longer; chest and breast more grayish olive and fiammulated with yellow. 



(5) Elsenia martinica complexa Berlepsch. Differing from E. m. martinica in having 

 the abdomen and under tail-coverts pale sulphur yellow, upper parts earthy brown 

 and breast washed with brown. (The brown color is really a discoloration, as suggested 

 l)y Count von Berlepsch, but due to the effect of the peculiar preservative used and 

 not to the " influence of moisture." All specimens collected bj^ C. J. Maynard during 

 the trip when these Elaenias were secured are similarly discolored, and are wholly unfit 

 for scientific comparison.) 



(6) Elsenia martinica remota Berlepsch. Differing from E. m. martinica in having 

 the rump conspicuously suffused with brown, chest and upper breast darker gray, 

 contrasting more strongly with the white of throat, and bill broader. This form is also 

 credited to Mujeres Island, and doubtfully to Holbox and Meco islands (Yucatan), 

 and Half Moon Cay, British Honduras.
