Charles, Chatham and Albemarle. 



We have one adult specimen taken in May on Chatham, where the 

 species was fairly common. On Albemarle we found it at the base 

 of the mountain back of Tagus Cove, where in March we secured 

 three young birds. Their notes are very similar to those of C. ameri- 

 canus. We have also one adult from Iguana Cove, Albemarle.
