AMAZONA LEUCOCEPHALA BAHAMENSIS (Bryant). 



BAHAMA PARROT. 



Similar to ^. Z. leucocephala, but with much less of purplish red 

 on abdomen, often with none at all; red of throat extended over 

 more or less of chest; white of head much more extended, reaching 

 to considerably behind eyes and involving suborbital region and 

 posterior portion of auricular region; inner webs of rectrices much 

 less yellowish green and with red much more restricted, often want- 

 ing; size decidedly larger. 



o Six specimens. 



b Five specimens, from Grand Cayman. 



c The specimens examined from Cayman Brae are in bad condition of plumage, 

 so that it is difficult to tell whether they should be referred to it. A. I. caymanensis or 

 not. Percy R. Lowe, who perhaps had specimens in more satisfactory condition, 

 refers the Cayman Brae bird to A. I. leucocephala (see Ibis, 1911, 149).
