 (lie a Vache, Haiti). 



Three skins were taken on lie a Vache on April 27, including one 

 adult and two immature birds. Tlie adult bird appeared somewhat 

 different from specimens from the main island but the paler color- 

 ation that marks the lie a Vache race were so masked in the immature 

 birds that the specimens obtained on the Parish Expedition on 

 first study were identified as the main island form. Mr. Lincoln and 

 I reached lie a Vache fresh from experience with this tanager in the 

 La Hotte region and, suspecting that some difference might exist, 

 we collected a small series on lie a Vache from which we have sub- 

 sequently described fetraopes.
