AMAZONA LEUCOCEPHALA CAYMANENSIS (Cory). 



CAYMAN PARROT. 



Similar to A. I. leucocephala but the green of a decidedly more 

 yellowish hue, and green of crown and occiput less strongly (some- 

 times not at all) tinged with blue;^ shghtly larger. 



« Ten specimens. 



& The specimens examined are all in worn and more or less soiled plumage, so that 

 it is difficult to determine with exactness the points of difference from ^. L leucocephala. 

 The wliite of the head is very much duller than in Cuban specimens, but this may 

 result from an actual staining of the feathers.
