 Allied to dominicana, but showing some white on the quills. The 

 superciliary stripe in the specimens examined from St. Bartholemew 

 begins above the eye; but one of the Anguilla specimens, which I have 

 referred to this species, has the superciliary stripe nearly reaching the 

 bill. It is now known that the extent of the grayish white feathers on the 

 forehead and the length and color of the superciliary stripe vary much in 

 several species with age and season, and are of comparatively little value 

 as distinguishing characters. Unfortunately lack of sufficient material 

 from St. Bartholemew renders it unwise to attempt to decide as to the 

 specific value o^ dominicana: but in case the two forms should prove to be 

 inseparable, bartolemica, being the older name, would of course stanjd, 

 and dominicana become a synonym.
