The chestnut nuchal collar, also, is more distinct. A young bird from Jamaica differs from the adult in lacking the frontal band almost entirely, and in having a whitish chin. I have not had an opportunity of examining the St. Domingan species, but would not be surprised if it proved different from those of Cuba and Jamaica. A closely allied species is the P. ruficollaris, of Peale.' â Petroohelidon rnficollaris. Hirundo ruficollaris, Pealk, Mammals and Birds U. 8. Expl. Ezped. 1848,175. Hah. Peru.
