Common resident of C'atalina, Santa Cniz and Santa Rosa islands. J. Grin- 

 nell (24) described a subspecies from Catalina, the type being an adult male 

 taken by him December 24, 1897. Its characters as given are : darker colora- 

 tion dorsally than charienturus, with heavier bill and larger feet. From leuco- 

 phrys it differs in being darker and less ashy, with more h(^a\'ily barred under- 

 tail coverts. The differences are rather slight, although constant in all speci- 

 mens wliicli I liave examined, and it was rejected by the A. 0. TT. Committee {27).
