Certhidea cinerascens bifasciata ROTHSCHILD AND HARTERT, Novit. Zool., 

 vi, p. 151, 1899. 



Range. Barrington. 



This form is similar to the last but is paler above and below, almost 

 whitish below with a faint tinge of buff, and with a distinct olive tone 

 above. The tips of the middle and greater wing coverts are specially 

 pale in some specimens forming two fairly well marked bands on the 

 wing. 



This form was very numerous on Barrington in May. The young 

 birds, as did those on Hood, remained banded together in small flocks, 

 flying about in troops from one bush to another, continually uttering 

 short c/itp-like notes. 



We have two adult males and two adult females taken on Barring- 

 ton in May.
