 Archipelago. 



This bird has been taken at the Galapagos Islands during both 

 summer and winter. Rothschild and Hartert report it taken by the 

 Harris expedition from July 29 to December 3. We have two speci- 

 mens taken in January, one at Turtle Point near Tagus Cove, Albe- 

 marle, and the other on the east shore of Narboro. The birds were 

 very wild and hard to approach — qualities that distinguish all the 

 visitant birds of the archipelago from the resident birds.
