SALTATOR GUADELUPENSIS Lafresnaye. 

 GUADELOUPE SALTATOE. 



Similar to S. albicolKs isthmicxis but larger, under parts more gen- 

 erally suffused with olive-grayish and yellowish and with streaks much 

 less distinct (sometimes nearly obsolete), and whitish or yellow super- 

 ciliary streak continued posteriorly to occiput. 



Adfults {sexes oLihe). — Above olive-green, slightly duller on pileum, 

 tinged with gray on scapulars and lower back; rump, upper tail-cov- 

 erts, and tail brownish gray ; sides of head olive (much duller than 

 pileum, sometimes tinged with dusky grayish, especially on lores), 

 relieved by a whitish or pale yellowish superciliary streak extending 

 from above lores to sides of occiput; chin and throat white medially 

 (usually tinged with pale grayish posteriorly and sometimes faintly 

 tinged with yellowish), this white area margined on each side by an 

 olive, grayish, or dusky submalar stripe; rest of under parts pale 

 grayish olive, becoming dull white on abdomen, the chest more or less 

 washed or tinged with yellowish olive or olive-yellowish; chest marked 

 with narrow and usually indistinct streaks of dusky grayish, the 

 breast and anterior portion of sides with still narrower and more indis- 

 tinct streaks; under tail-coverts, anal region, and lower abdomen pale 

 huffy, the first usually with narrow shaft-streaks of grayish dusky; 

 basal half or more of maxilla and sides of mandible for about the same 

 distance dusky; rest of bill whitish or pale j-ellowish (in dried skins) ;^ 

 legs and feet (in dried skins) horn color. 



Young. — Similar to adults, but superciliary streak distinctly light 

 yellow, and lower throat, chest, upper bi'east, and anterior portion of 

 sides much more distinctly and broadly streaked with greenish olive on 

 a more whitish ground color. 



Adult male.— Length (skins), 201.93-208.-28 (204.98); wing, 96.25- 

 99-31 (97.28); tail, 85.34-86.36 (85.85); exposed culmen, 18.29-19.81 

 (19.05); depth of bill at base, 14.99-15.24 (15.11); tarsus, 26.15-25.40

AduUfemale.— Length (skins), 195.58-209.65 (201.68); wing, 96.52- 

 100.84 (98.55); tail, 85.86-89.66 (88.65); exposed culmen, 18.29-19.81

 (25.27); middle toe, 16.51-17.27 (16.76).' 



Lesser Antilles (islands of Guadeloupe, Dominica, Martinique, 

 Santa Lucia, and Nevis).* 



' I have not seen any specimen with the bill entirely black, as in adults of S. cUbir 

 collis and its subspecies. 



' Two specimens, from Dominica. 



' Pour specimens, from Dominica. 



* Although all the islands named above are represented by specimens in the series 

 before me, there are adult birds only from Dominica, Santa Lucia, and Martinique, 

 and only one each from the last two, that from Martinique being, moreover, in very 

 bad condition. I am therefore unable to state whether there is any difference 

 between specimens from the different islands,
