SALTATOR GUADELUPENSIS Lafresnaye. 

 GUADELOUPE SALTATOR. 



Similar to aS*. alhicollis isthmicus but larger, under parts more gen- 

 erally suffused with olive-grayish and 3^ellowish and with streaks much 

 less distinct (sometimes nearly olisolete), and whitish or yellow super- 

 ciliary streak continued posteriori}^ to occiput. 



Adults {sexes alike). — Above olive-green, slightly duller on pileum, 

 tinged with gray on scapulars and lower back; rump, upper tail-cov- 

 erts, and tail brownish gray; sides of head olive (much duller than 

 pileum, sometimes tinged with dusky grayish, especially on lores), 

 relieved b}" a whitish or pale yellowish superciliary streak extending 

 from above lores to sides of occiput; chin and throat white medially 

 (usually tinged with pale grayish posteriorly and sometimes fainth^ 

 tinged with 3'ellowish), this white area margined on each side by an 

 olive, grayish, or dusky submalar stripe; rest of under parts pale 

 grayish olive, becoming dull white on abdomen, the chest more or less 

 washed or tinged with yellowish olive or olive-yellowish; chest marked 

 with narrow and usually indistinct streaks of dusky grayish, the 

 breast and anterior portion of sides with still narrower and niore indis- 

 tinct streaks; under tail-coverts, anal region, and lower abdomen pale 

 })uffy, the iirst usually with narrow shaft-streaks of grayish dusk}'; 

 basal half or more of maxilla and sides of mandi])le for about the same 

 distance dusky; rest of lull whitish or pale yellowish (in dried skins) ;^ 

 legs and feet (in dried skins) born color. 



Young. — Similar to adults, but superciliary streak distinctly light 

 yellow, and lower throat, chest, upper breast, and anterior portion of 

 sides much more distinctly and broadly streaked with greenish olive on 

 a more whitish ground color. 



Adult male.— Length (skins), 201.93-208.28 (201.98); wing, 95.25- 

 99-31 (97.28); tail, 85.31-86.36 (85.85); exposed culmen, 18.29-19.81 

 (19.05); depth of bill at base, 11.99-15.21(15.11); tarsus, 25.15-25.40

 100.84 (98.55); tail, 85.85-89.66 (88.65); exposed culmen, 18.29-19.81

Lesser Antilles (islands of Guadeloupe, Dominica, Martinique, 

 Santa Lucia, and Nevis).* 



^ I have not seen any specimen with the hill entirely Ijlack, as in adults of S. alhi- 

 collis and its suhspecies. 



^Two specimens, from Dominica. 



^ Four specimens, from Dominica. 



* Although all the islands named above are represented by specimens in the series 

 before me, there are adult birds only from Dominica, Santa Lucia, and Martinique, 

 and only one each from the last two, that from Martinique being, moreover, in very 

 bad condition. I am therefore unable to state whether there is any difference 

 between specimens from the different islands.
