 C. H. Townsend). — Head, neck, and chest dull black, passing into 

 dusky sooty brown on forehead; rest of upper parts dull grayish olive, 

 much lighter on rump and upper tail-coverts; lower parts from breast 

 backward dull white, tinged with buff posteriorly, especially on under

 culmen, 0.62, very strongly arched; depth of bill at base, 0.18, from

Immature male (No. 116039, U.S.N.M., Indefatigable Island, April 

 12; C. H. Townsend). — Above light grayish olive, the top of the head 

 rather grayer, broadly but rather indistinctly streaked with dusky, the 

 feathers of the back still more broadly but much less distinctly darker 

 medially. Sujjraloral region, malar and suborbital regious and entire

 at base, 0.45; from base of culmen to angle of gonys, 0.47 ; tarsus, 0.90; 

 middle toe, 0.62. 



This bird, although from James Island, can not be the same as C 

 pslttaculus, for, although I have not been able to compare it with an 

 adult male of the latter, the dimensions are much too great and the 

 form of the bill far too different. 



17. CAMARHYNCHUS PRODUCTUS, new species. 



Specific characters. — Similar to C. pauper., Ridgway, of Charles Island, 

 but bill longer, with culmen more arched, and gonys less convex, the 

 sides of the under mandible with several oblique ridges; wing and tail 

 decidedly and tarsus slightly longer. Wing, 2.90; tail, 1.80; culmen, 

 0.70, exposed portion, 0.55; depth of bill at nostril, 0.32; tarsus, 0.90; 

 middle toe, 0.60. 



Hahitat. — Albemarle Island, Galapagos. (Type, No. 404, S , coll. Dr. 

 G. Baur, Albemarle Island, July 31, 1891.) 



The form of the bill in this species is so exactly intermediate between 

 that of the thin-billed Camarhynchi and the Cactorni of the C. pallida 

 group that it may almost be as well placed in one " genus " as the 

 other ! 



18. CAMARHYNCHUS SALVINI, uew species. 



Specific characters. — Most like 0. ^ros^Aemetos, Sclater and Salvin, but 

 adult male without black on head, neck, or chest, the latter, together
