' Four specimens. 



'■'Mr. Cory (Cat. \V. 1. Birds, 1892, 155) names these islands as inhahite«l by wiiat 

 he calls C. Ixirlokinlca, but since he considers C. doinJuicann a synonym of that form 

 1 can not, in the a))sence of specimens, be sure as to which they should be referred. 



Average measurements of specimens from different islands are as follows:
