A single specimen from Porto liico dillers in some r.'speets from the .nvrag.' of a seri.'S from 

 the other islands named. The chief diHeren.es are, less thieklv streakcl throat, and distinct 

 shuft-streaks of dark chestnut on the back. However, one or two specim.ms of tru.' r„Heu/,ilU 

 from St. Thomas liav,. tli.' .ipper jmrt of the throat .stnNike.I, an.l one of them has the streaks on 

 the back. In all probability other sj.ecimens from Porto Uico would be more like typical .species 

 of this race as seen in the maj(Hity of tho.se from St. Thomas ami St. IJartholomew.
