^ I have examined the type of S. bracei Lawrence. The specimen is a mummy in 

 poor condition and apparently discolored (probably by the preservative) and in my 

 opinion is a discolored specimen of the bird which occurs commonly on Andros and 

 Abaco Islands. The fact that no specimens of Riccordia have since been recorded 

 from New Providence would suggest that no race exists there and that the occurrence 

 of the type specimen of bracei on that Island (if the locality given is correct) was 

 accidental.
