Species described provisionally and not given in the list. 
13.1 HAEMATOPUS PRATTII. 
Pratt’s Oyster Catcher. 
Similar to AY. pal/iatus, but differs in having a stouter, thicker 
bill, and in being much lighter in color above, but with the dark of the 
back encroaching upon the white of the rump. Types in my collection 
taken on Flemming’s Key, Bahamas, April 29, 1897, but probably 
occurs throughout the islands as a resident. 
I have named this species for my friend, Marland L. Pratt, to 
whom this catalogue is dedicated. 
Actual date of issue, November twenty-ninth, 1899. 
29 COLUMBIGALLINA JAMAICENSIS. 
Jamaica Ground Dove. 
Similar to C. dahamensts, but differs in being lighter in shade 
and in having the bill distinctly yellow at the base. ‘Types, male and 
female, in the Bryant Collection. 
This is not the C. passerina of Linnaeus; he, having no type, based 
his description mainly upon Catesby’s figure of the Ground Dove of the 
Carolinas. This figure, although good, is Sparrow-like enough in form to 
have evidently suggested the name of Jassertza to Linnaeus,
