When I examined the Eyerdam specimens collected for the Museum 

 of Comparative Zoology, I failed to attach sufficient importance to 

 the slight variations noted in those particular specimens, which were 

 the only ones from Gonave that I had seen at that time. The sub- 

 sequent discovery by Dr. A. Wetmore of a distinct subspecies on 

 Beata Island brought about a reexamination of the status of the 

 Gonave Island form, while fresh material from different sources gave 

 proof of the stability of its color pattern and of the arrangement of its 

 caudal scales.
