daring a Cruise in the Caribbean Sea.

I have three specimens of this Tyrant which I obtained 
at Barbados that undoubtedly differ from examples of true 
E. martinica , and having also examined two birds taken by 
Mr. Nicoll on the same island, one of which exactly agrees 
with mine, while the other is lighter in coloration and 
is apparently younger, I am unable to agree with him 
in thinking that this form should be united to that found 
in St. Vincent, St. Lucia, Martinique, Dominica, and 
Guadaloupe (true E. martinica). The four apparently fulty 
adult birds from Barbados are both larger and darker in 
coloration above and below than examples from these islands, 
a large series of which I have examined, and my only 
hesitation has been whether they best deserve specific or 
subspecific rank.

The bills of these specimens from Barbados, as well as of 
three others which I shot in Grenada, are somewhat larger 
than in typical specimens of T. dominicensis (Gmelin), and 
agree in other respects with descriptions of this form, which 
is found in the more southern Antilles. The difference in 
size between the two birds is, however, slight, and the bills 
also vary a good deal in length in examples from the same 
island; yet no doubt if a sufficiently large series were 
examined the distinction between the two forms would be 
more obvious.
