Similar to S. o. obsolei/us, but smaller (except bill and feet); young 

 much darker, with dusky bars or vermiculations much heavier." 



AdhiU m«^e.— Length (skins), 127.5-128.5 (127.8); wing, 69-72.5 

 (70.8); tail, 47.6-52.5(50.2); exposed culmen, 17.5-18.5 (18.2); tarsus, 

 21.5; middle toe, 14r-14.5(14.2).»

 20-20.5 (20.3); middle toe, 13.5-14.5 (14). » 



" Although the coloration of the adults does not differ, that I can see, from that of 

 8. o. obsoletus the young are quite as dark as those of S. o. guadeloupenMs; in fact 

 seem to be quite identical in coloration with the latter. 



i Three specimens.
