13509, Adult male. Nassau, New Providence Island, Bahama Islands. 



April 1859. Collected by Henry Bryant. 

 Bryant named this form from a series of seven, "killed in February and 

 the early part of March." Either he forgot that the bird had been found 

 also in April, or the date for this specimen was incorrectly transcribed onto 

 the Smithsonian label by Baird (Bryant's original label no longer exists). 

 The bird was one of several cotypes received from Bryant in December 1859; 

 Baird wrote "type of Bahamensis" on the label, and its typeship was never 

 questioned by Ridgway and Richmond. 



Two other cotypes, a male and a female, still exist in the Museum of 

 Comparative Zoology, where they are Nos. 46812 and 46813.
