fortunately the color of the bill in life ol the present bird is nol re- 

 corded. The series examined shows substantial agreement between 

 the specimens from Mona and those from Greal fnagua, although 

 the latter are in fresher plumage, and consequently average a little 

 longer in length of wing. There is very little tinge of pinkish vina- 

 ceous on the wing-coverts in this form. 



A single female example from the Caicos Islands (exad locality not 

 stated) is to be referred to C. p. bahamensis, s<> thai ii seems probable 

 that C. p. exigua is confined in the Bahamas to Great (and Little?) 

 I nagua.
