The bills of my series average *75 inch, so that, with 
Mr. Richmond, I should give the bird from Margarita a 
place intermediate between M. gilvus and M. gilvus 
rostratus.

1 shot three of these birds, which do not appear to differ 
in any way from the ordinary form. Neither Capt. Robinson 
nor Mr. Clark appear to have noticed this species on the island, 
and it is evidently only a straggler. I have been struck 
with the large quantities of subeutaneous fat with which 
these birds are always loaded in winter.

‘These were the only two examples of this species that I 
saw, and again neither Capt. Robinson nor Mr. Clark mention 
it in their lists. My two examples do not difter from a series 
from Curagao kindly lent me by Mr. Hartert for comparison. 
It is one of the commonest birds on Blanquilla Island, sixty 
miles further out to sea, where | obtained a duzen or more 
specimens in full plumage.
