 The St. Thomas Creeper does not appear to differ sufficiently from the 

 Porto Rico species to warrant its separation. In fact, specimens from St. 

 Thomas, Tortola, Anegada, Virgin Gorda, and Calebra are apparently the 

 same form. Eighty-five specimens were examined from the above-men- 

 tioned islands.
