 Salvin and Godman). 



SPINDALIS SALVINI Cory. 

 SALVIN'S SPHTOALIS. 



Similar to S. ienedicti, hnt median throat-stripe "yellowish orange" 

 instead of yellow, and lower rump "brownish orange" instead of 

 chestnut. 



Adult male. — "Top of the head and cheeks black; a supercilary 

 and malar stripe of white; a patch of j'ellowish orange on the upper 

 throat, separated from the white malar stripe by a line of black which 

 reaches the breast; chin dull white; lower throat and breast chestnut; 

 back dark olive, separated from the black of the head by a chestnut 

 collar; lower back j^ellowish; a patch of chestnut on the carpus; rump 

 brownish orange; belly and under tail-coverts dull white; tail black, 

 the two outer feathers heavily marked with white; the third feather 

 tipped with white on the inner web, the two central feathers narrowly 

 edged with white on the inner webs; bill horn color, feet slate brown. 

 General appearance of Spindalis pretrii, but having the bill heavier 

 and throat markings unlike those of that species, besides other minor 

 differences. 



"Length, 139.7; wing, 85.1; tail, 69.9; tarsus, 17.8; bill, 12.7."' 



Island of Grand Cayman, Caribbean Sea (near Cuba). 



This form I have not seen. Judging from the description it seems 

 to be more like S. henedicti than any other, and to differ from that 

 species chieflj' in the more orange median throat-stripe and paler 

 ("brownish oi-ange" instead of chestnut) lower rump. A direct com- 

 parison should be made. 



Spindalis salvini Couy, Auk, iii, Oct., 1886, 499 (Grand Cayman, Greater Antilles; 

 coll. C. B. Cory); v. 1888, 157; Birds W. I., 1889, 289; Cat. W. I. Birds,
