On the Genus Elaenia. 895 



Windward Islands in being much paler and more uniform 

 greyish-brown (less mottled) on the upperparts. In colora- 

 tion they agree with E. riisei from S. Thomas and Curaçao, 

 but have the large measurements of E. martinica. 



I hare not yet seen specimens from Little Cayman, but 

 have little doubt about their identity with the Grand Cayman 

 birds.
