BIRDS OF HAITI AND SAN DOMINGO. I 1 9 



other by a mark of sandy buff barred with brownish ; underparts, 

 dull white barred with brown, the bars becoming narrower on the 

 lower part of the body ; thighs, buff ; under wing coverts, yellowish 

 buff, sometimes spotted with brown near the outer edge, and 

 becoming dull white on edge of the wing; tarsus, feathered in 

 front to the foot ; iris, yellow. 

 The sexes are similar. 



Length 8; wing 6; tail 2.50; tarsus 1.50. 



Although the same specimens of the San Domingo bird differ 

 somewhat in marking and color from examples taken in other 

 localities, these differences do not seem to be constant. Specimens 

 vary greatly in color which were shot on the same day and in the 

 same locality. 



The species is very abundant in the low woods bordering the 

 lakes in the vicinity of Gantier, and we observed it every day 

 during our stay in that locality. A single specimen was taken 

 on the hills back of Port au Prince, but none were observed 

 elsewhere on the island.
