I BSS 
A NEW SWIFT FROM SANTO DOMINGO. 
BY JAMES LEE PETERS. 
WHILE engaged in studying a collection of birds which I made 
during the winter and spring of 1916 in Santo Domingo for the 
Museum of Comparative Zoélogy, I have noted certain differences 
in the large resident collared swift of the Island, that render a 
separation necessary. The form may therefore be known as 
Streptoprocne zonaris melanotis subsp. nov. 
Type, no. 70,116, coll. Museum of Comparative Zodlogy, adult male, 
Sostia, Santo Domingo, February 28, 1916, collected by James L. Peters 
(orig. no. 759). 
Similar to Streptoprocne zonaris pallidifrons (Hartert), but auricular 
and orbital regions and sides of head much blacker, less sooty. 
Specimens of Streptoprocne zonaris from the Greater Antilles vary so in 
size, that I have been unable to establish any differences on that basis.
