156 BIRDS OF THE WEST INDIES. 
156. Geothlypis agilis (Wils.). I have a specimen of this species shot at 
Cay Sal, Bahamas, on May 17, 1891. 
157- Geothlypis trichas restrictus (Mayn.). 
G. restricta Maynard, American Exchange and Mart, Dec. 15, 1886. Cory, 
Birds of the Bahama Islands, Revised Ed., 1890. 
A somewhat doubtful subspecies, supposed to be resident. Described as 
differing from G. ¢vzchas in having the black mask restricted on the cheeks to the 
same width as on the forehead, with the space next to the black abruptly ashy and 
the wings shorter and rounder. 
158. Geothlypis rostraius Bryant. This species occurs on New Providence 
and Andros Islands. Some Andros Island birds approach Geothlypis tannerz in col- 
oration. The color of the back varies in birds from Andros, New Providence, and 
Abaco, and it is perhaps as well to consider the Abaco form as a subspecies. The 
Eleuthera bird seems to be specifically separable. I have examined specimens as 
follows: New Providence, 22; Andros, 12; Great Bahama,g; Abaco, 11; Eleuthera, 
7. The color of the bill varies somewhat in birds from Andros Island, in some it is 
light, and in others dark brown. Ridgw., Auk III, p. 335, 1886. Cory, Birds of 
the West Indies, p. 287, 1889. 
159. Geothlypis coryi Ridgw. Auk III. p. 334, 1886. Cory, Birds of the 
West Indies, p. 287, 1889. 
160. Microligea palustris Cory. Birds of Haiti and San Domingo, p. 38, 
1885. Id., Birds of the West Indies, p. 38, 1889. 
161. Szt/a pusilla Lath. Recorded from Great Bahama Island. Cory, 
Auk, ip. 350, 1897. 
162. Polioptila cerulea cesiogaster Ridgw. Man. N. A. Birds, p. 569, 1887. 
Mr. Ridgway considers some specimens from the Bahama Islands as worthy 
of subspecific distinction. Judging from the material in my possession, it is 
hardly separable from P. c@rulea. It has been recorded from Cozumel Island. 
163. | Thryothorus guadeloupensis Cory. Auk IIL, p. 381, 1886. Id., Birds 
of the West Indies, p. 286, 1889. 
164. Rhamphocinclus brachyurus sancte-lucie Cory. 
Rhamphocinclus sancte-lucie Cory. Auk, p. 94, 1887. Id. Birds of the 
West Indies, p. 285, 1889.
