﻿288 SMITHSONIAN MISCELLANEOUS COLLECTIONS [VOL. 47 



The eight males from Barbuda average: wing, 92.6; tail, 81.7; 

 culmen, 21.2. 



35. ELjENIA FLAVOGASTRA MARTINICA Linnams 

 [Musicapa] martinica Linnaeus, Sys. Nat., ed. 12, 1766, 325 (Martinica). 



Six males, one female, and one unsexed, Barbuda ; five males and 

 five females, Antigua. 



A series of this species from Grand Cayman southward to Guade- 

 loupe appears to be paler both above and below than specimens from 

 Guadeloupe south (except Barbados), until Grenada is reached, 

 where true flavogastra apparently occurs. 



Family MIMID^E 



36. MARGAROPS FUSCATUS (Vieillot) 

 Tardus fuscatus Vieillot, Ois. Am. Sept., 11, 1807, 1 (Greater Antilles, 

 particularly Porto Rico and St. Domingo). 



Three males and two females, Barbuda ; three males and one fe- 

 male, Antigua. 



37. ALLENIA ALBIVENTRIS (Lawrence) 



Margarops albivcniris Lawrence, Ann. New York Acad. Sci., iv, 1887, 23 

 (Grenada). 



One male and two females, Barbuda ; three males and one female, 

 Antigua. 



The above series, when compared with a series from the other 

 Lesser Antilles, averages more olive brown above, without the 

 reddish cast in the plumage seen in the other series before me. The 

 measurements are also slightly larger, as the following will show : 

 Four males from Barbuda and Antigua average: wing, 129; tail, 

 104.6; culmen, 20. Seven males from Saba south to St. Vincent 

 average : wing, 121. 3 ; tail. 95.6 ; culmen, 19.4. 



Lafresnaye's name of Turdus montanus (Rev. Zoo]., May, 1844, 

 167), generally used for this species, is preoccupied by Turdus mon- 

 tanus Voigt, Thierreich, 1, 1831, 484; Audubon, Orn. Biog., iv, 1838, 

 487; and Townsend, Journ. Acad. Nat. Sci. Phila., 1839, 153. Law- 

 rence's Margarops albiventris as quoted above appears to be the next 

 available name given to the species. 



Family YIREONID/E 



38. VIREOSYLVA CALIDRIS BARBADENSIS Ridgway 



[Vireosylva calidris] var. barbadense Ridgway, in Baird, Brewer, and 

 Ridgway, Hist. N. A. Bds., 1, 1874, 359 (Barbados). 



Four males and one female, Barbuda; five' males, two females, and 



one unsexed, Antigua.
