both above and below. Mr. Bangs' birds were all taken in July and 

 August, which may possibly account for their more brilliant coloration. 

 Mr. Riley has kindly compared both series with the type of R. r. 

 hracci of New Providence, at present unique. This specimen is a 

 mummy, with the wings and tail being renewed by moult, while 

 "the green of the throat is quite different from Abaco birds; it comes 

 near a silvery chromium green, in some lights inclining to oil green." 

 Altogether it is different from any other Bahaman specimen examined, 

 but that it is anything more than an abnormal specimen of the or- 

 dinary Bahaman bird I very much doubt. New Providence has been 

 more thoroughly explored than any other island of the group, and no 

 other examples have come to light. The distinctness of the Bahaman 

 bird from that of Cuba has also been questioned, but not having ac- 

 tually compared them I accept for the present the name ccneoviridis 

 for the former, while at the same time venturing the prediction that 

 they will prove to be practically identical, as contehded by Mr. Bonhote. 



42. Tyrannus dominicensis dominicensis (Gmelin). 



Twelve specimens: Watlings Island; Abaco (Spencer's Point). 



The fresh condition of the plumage in this series indicates a pre- 

 nuptial moult recently completed, some examples still retaining, how- 

 ever, old and worn tertials, which the moult has apparently passed by. 



43. Tolmarchus bahamensis (Bryant). 



Nine specimens: New Providence (Blue Hills); Andros (Staniard 

 Creek). 



Although no signs of moult going on are visible in any of this series, 

 some individuals are duller and more worn, with the crown-patch 

 more restricted and duller. These are characters supposed to belong 

 to the females, but it seems possible that they may indicate immaturity 

 instead. The example from Andros, taken three months later, is 

 still more worn and faded. 



44. Myiarchus sagrae lucaysiensis (Bryant). 



Thirteen specimens: New Providence (Blue Hills); Great Inagua 

 (Mathewtown) ; Andros (Staniard Creek); Abaco (Sand Bank). 



This is merely a slightly differentiated subspecies of the Cuban 

 M. sagrcc, averaging grayer above, with less contrast between the 

 crown and back — a feature quite marked in the Cuban bird. There 

 is no appreciable difference in size, however. Regarding the yellowish 

 suffusion of the posterior under parts, there can be no question but
