619. Dendroica bryanti bryanti ( Rid g way). 



Dendroica vieillottii, var. bryanti Ridgway, Amer. Nat., VII, 1873, 605 (Belize, 



Brit. Honduras; coll. U. S. Nat. Mus.). 

 [Dendrceca vieilloti] Subsp. «. Dendroica bryanti Sharpe, Cat. Birds Brit. Mus., 



X. 1885, 284 (Nicaragua). 

 Dendroica vieilloti bryanti Ciierrie, Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., XIV, 1891, 521, 524 



(Puerto Limon, Costa Rica; crit.). 

 [Dendroica bryanti] a. bryanti Ridgway, Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., VIII, 1885, 350. 

 Dendroica bryanti Sharpe, Cat. Birds Brit. Mus., X, 1885, 645, part. 

 Dendroica bryanti bryanti Ridgway, Birds N. and Mid. Amer., II, 1902, 529 



(Gulf coast of Mexico and Caribbean coast of Central America from Ta- 



maulipas to Costa Rica). 



U. S. Nat. Museum: Port Limon, Uvita Island (Cherrie). 

 Bangs Collection: Limon (Underwood), two skins. 



This form takes the place on the Caribbean coast which the preceding 

 bird occupies on the Pacific, that is, it inhabits the mangroves and other 

 salt-water growths along the beach. Frantzius records the bird from 

 San Jose, saying that he saw one. This is without question an error, for 

 the bird is confined to the sea-coast, and the bird which he saw could have 

 been nothing else than D. ccstiva cestiva. 



620. Dendroica petechia aureola (Gould). 



Sylvicola aureola Gould, Zool. Voy. Beagle, III, Birds, 1841, 86, pi. 28 (Gala- 

 pagos Archipelago). 



Dendroica aureola Cassin, Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. Phila., i860, 192. — Town- 

 send, Bull. Mus. Comp. Zool., XXVII, 1895, 122 (Cocos Island). 



Dendroica petechia aureola Ridgway, Birds N. and Mid. Amer., II, 1902, 521 

 (Galapagos Archipelago, Cocos Island, Gorgona Island, and various points 

 on mainland). 



"This bird is not distinguishable from the bird of the Galapagos. It is 

 more closely related to D. petechia of Jamaica than to the mainland 

 species." (Townsend.) 



I do not know under what conditions the bird is found on Cocos Island, 

 but its habits are probably similar to those of the Jamaican Yellow 

 Warbler, D. petechia petechia. 



621. Dendroica aestiva aestiva (Gmelin). 



Motacilla cestiva Gmelin, Syst. Nat., I, pt. ii, 1788, 996 (based on Figuier de 



Canada Daubenton, PI. Enl., pi. 58, fig. 2). 

 Rhimamphus cestivus Cabanis, Jour, fur Orn., i860, 326 (highlands of Costa 



Rica, Sept. [Hoffmann and Frantzius]).
