Abstract Chlorostilbon bracei Lawrence, known from the unique holotype taken on New Providence Island, Bahamas, in 1877, is shown to be a valid species that is evidently now extinct. Compared with C. ricordii of Cuba and the Bahamas, C. bracei is smaller, has a longer bill, and has distinctly different plumage. Fossil evidence demonstrates that a small Chlorostilbon, tentatively referred to C. bracei, was present on New Providence in the Pleistocene. Populations of C. ricordii from Andros, Abaco, and Grand Bahama are indistinguishable from Cuban birds, and C. ricordii is therefore regarded as monotypic.

AbstractThis paper reports the finding of the first, known study of a Caribbean community's views on pit bulls. College students (375) provided their perceptions on a number of issues related to pit bull guardianship ("ownership"). Age, sex, and dog-owning status influenced some of their views. They saw pit bulls as being different from other dogs, but not all supported banning pit bulls. Some results reinforced the stereotypes associated with pit bull ownership: Most pit bull owners were under 19 years of age, and older respondents were more likely than younger ones to support a ban on pit bulls. Why different subgroups of respondents held their views would be a useful avenue for future research.
