This bird was shot by Dr. Sharpe, and was the only one 
that he saw. In neither of my visits to the island in 1904 
and 1906 did I get a single specimen. Capt. Robinson says 
that it is common in the coast-region, so possibly there is a 
local migration during the winter months to the mountains 
or from the mainland. Mr. Richmond has separated the 
Margarita bird from P. flavipes. 
DENDROPLEX LONGIROSTRIS. 
Dendroplex longirostris Richmond, Proc. U.S. Nat. Mus:

a. ad. Jan. 9, 1904. [P. R. L.] 
6-e. d ad. March 19-21, 1906. [P. R. L.] 
Tris hazel-brown. 
The exposed culmens of my five birds measure respectively, 
1:20, 1°25, 1°30, 1°20, 1°30 in. nearly. On comparing them 
with a series from the mainland I find that the under 
surface of those from Margarita is darker in colour and the 
upper surface a richer chestnut. 
With regard to the white centres of the feathers of the 
lower breast referred to by Mr. Richmond, I agree with 
him that they are uniformly broader than in examples of 
D. picirostris. The bills are only very slightly longer. 
This bird frequents the tall upright Cerei which grow 
only in the arid sandy flats of the island. One would, 
therefore, have expected it to conform to isabelline charac- 
teristics such as Mr. Richmond has. recognised in his new 
species of Hupsychortyx, Doleromyia, and Speotyto which occur 
in the island: such, however, is apparently not the case.
