286 BanGs, Notes on Bahama Birds. yay 
6. AXgialitis semipalmata Bonap. SEMIPALMATED PLOVER. — One 
from Nassau, April 2, 1897. 
7. Symphemia semipalmata (Gmel.). WILLET.—Four specimens, 
one from Current Island, Eleuthera, April 14, 1897, three from Fresh 
Creek, Andros, April 24, 1893. 
The Willet breeds commonly on the Bahamas and these birds perhaps 
represent a local form. In size they are quite as small or smaller than 
true S. semzipalmata, but in color they are very pale, agreeing more 
nearly in this respect with S. semzfalmata tnornata Brewster except that 
the dark spots on the under parts, though few in number, are much more 
distinct, and the pinkish-salmon suffusion and borders of the spots and 
markings usually seen in that strongly characterized form are wanting.

The Nassau Bob-white is a slightly differentiated island form, differing 
from C. virgtnianus floridanus, as Mr. Maynard has pointed out, in the 
narrowness of the black markings below, and the greater tendency of the 
markings to be arrow-shaped.
