during a Cruise in the Carihhcan Sea. 307 



I Iiave three specimens of this Tyrant which I obtained 

 at Barl)ados that undoubtedly differ from examples of true 

 E. martinica, and having also examined two birds taken by 

 Mr. Nicoll on the same island, one of which exactly agrees 

 with mine, while the other is lighter in coloration and 

 is apparently younger, I am unable to agree with him 

 in thinking that this form should be united to that found 

 in St. Vincent, St. Lucia, Martinique, Dominica, and 

 Guadaloupe (true E. martinica) . The four apparently fully 

 adult birds from Barbados are both larger and darker in 

 coloration above and below than examples from these islands, 

 a large series of which I have examined, and my only 

 hesitation has been whether they best deserve specific or 

 subspecific rank.

Three males and one female. 



The bills of these specimens from Barbados, as well as of 

 three others which I shot iu Grenada, are somewhat larger 

 than in typical specimens of T. dominicensis (Gmelin), and 

 agree in other respects with deseriptious of this form, which 

 is found in the more southern Antilles. The difference in 

 size between the two birds is, however, slight, and the bills 

 also vary a good deal in length in examples from the same 

 island ; yet no doubt if a suthciently large series were 

 examined the distinction betweeu tlie two forms would be 

 more obvious.
