 Geospiza paupera Rothschild and Hartert, Novit. ZooL, lii, p. 169, 1899. 



Range. — Charles Island. 



This species approaches G. habeli in the shape of the bill but it is 

 much smaller and the adult males have the head and chest less blackish. 



We have three specimens, two of which are adult males, but both 

 lack blackish heads, being streaked on the throat and chest with dark 

 brown. These were taken near the higher central part of the island 

 to which they seem to be confined, none being seen near the coast.
