C. minor possess a distinct geographical range. They are : C. 

 maynardi, separated by Mr. Ridgway from C. minor oa account 

 of its small size, especially the bill, and paler underparts ; and 

 C. dominicce, only known to me by three specimens in the British 

 Museum, labelled Dominica. The latter form differs from C. minor 

 in being more robust, with the bill much stronger, the colours richer, 

 and the underparts rufous buff.
