Island of Cuba (including the Isle of Pines),' Greater Antilles. 



' Seven specimens. 

 '^ Five specimens. 



' Three adult males from the Isle of Pines, although in somewhat worn plumage,

 Average measurements are as follows: 



With the exception of a pair from Monte Verde, all the specimens examined are 

 from western Cuba. No females from the Isle of Pines have been seen by me.
