@T am unable to determine whether West Indian and South American records are 
really of this form, not having seen specimens. JH. palliatus is, however, cited from 
Cuba, Haiti, Porto Rico, St. Bartholomew, St. Thomas, Trinidad, Aruba, Curac¢ao, 
Brazil (Mattogrosso; Cujutuba; Iguapé, Sao Paulo; Santa Catarina), Paraguay 
(upper Rio Paran4), Uruguay, Argentina (Rio de la Plata; coast of Buenos Aires; 
Cape San Antonio), and from San Miguel Island, Bay of Panama. 
+The interrogation mark indicates doubt as to identity of birds from the localities 
cited with those from the Atlantic and Gulf coasts of the United States, specimens 
not having been examined by the author.
