568 Mr. P. R. Lowe on the Birds of 
of the series of birds obtained by us on Margarita, and I find 
that as compared with C. phwniceus some few Margarita crests 
are shorter, but that others are as long and some longer. 
The wings of my Margarita specimens are on an average 
decidedly larger than those of Mr. Robinson’s birds from 
Margarita. The crest beg a sexual adornment, it might 
be expected to vary a good deal according to the time 
of year. 
Among the specimens of C. pheniceus in the British 
Museum which I examined is the type. 
I am unable to appreciate any difference between the colour 
of the two forms. Our birds were in good breeding-plumage, 
whereas those taken by Capt. Robinson in July were, as 
Mr. Richmond says, worn.
