Hab. Bow Island. 
The only specimen procured is said to be a female. This species 
is I believe the only insessorial form inhabiting the island. Its prin- 
cipal interest consists in its forming an additional species of a small 
group of birds hitherto believed to be peculiar to the Galapagos 
Islands. 
In the possession of the Zoological Society, to whom it was pre- 
sented by the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty.
