" Todus m. exilis Barbour & Brooks: Differs from T. m. multicolor Gould in 

 having lighter blue on sides of neck and more restricted and duller yellow patch at 

 base of forehead. 



^ Ridgway (I.e.) suggests T. pulcherrimus Sharpe may represent an extreme 

 variation of plumage of T. subulatus Gray from Haiti, and this may be the correct 

 solution of a puzzling problem, but I have examined the type of T. pulcherrimus in 

 the British Museum and while it approaches nearest to T. subulatus, it can be dis- 

 tinguished at a glance from any specimen of that species seen by me.
