" 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.
