Respecting the Loxigilla from Santa Lucia, Dr. Sclater (P. Z. S., 1871, 
270) observes: Mr. Semper’s single specimen agrees with a Martinique 
skin in my collection, except in having the superciliary mark rather shorter 
(only just reaching the eye), and no rufous at all on the crissum. It will 
be interesting to ascertain whether these differences are constant.” Mr. 
Lawrence (Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., I, 58) in recalling this observation, in 
relation to Dominica specimens, says : “ Probably the Dominica and Mar- 
tinique birds are alike ; but if other examples from Santa Lucia prove to 
be without rufous crissums, it would seem to be a well-marked variety.” 
Eight males from Santa Lucia show that the differences first noted by Dr. 
Sclater are nearly constant. In four there is no trace of rufous on the 
crissum ; two have a strong tinge of rufous on this part, and in two one 
or two feathers are edged with it. The rufous area on the throat is also 
rather narrower, and the rufous superciliary line is much shorter and nar- 
rower. On the other hand, in a series of 15 males of Loxigilla noctis from 
Grenada, not one lacks the rufous on the crissum, and only one departs at 
all in this respect from the Dominica and Martinique examples ; in this 
the rufous is about as in the two Santa Lucia specimens, which show the 
most rufous on the crissum.
