NATURAL SCIENCES OF PHILADELPHIA. 377 



specimens are Jardine's Tiaris omissa described as above cited, from the 

 Island of Tobago. 



10. Certhiola flaveola, (Linnaeus). 



Certbia flaveola, Linn. Syst. Nat. i. p. 187, (1766). 

 Nectarinia antillensis, Lesson, Traite d'Orn. i. p. 304, (1831). 

 Certbia bartholemica, Sparrm. Mus. Carls. No. 57, (1788) ? 

 Catesby, Carolina, pi. 59. Swains. Zool. 111. pi. 52. Gosse, B. of Jam. 

 pi. 16. 

 Numerous specimens, in good plumage and excellent condition. Tbey 

 appear to be the same as described and figured by Mr. Gosse, as above, from 

 the Island of Jamaica, and are probably of the species best entitled to the 

 name given by Linnaeus. 



11. Lampornis aurulentus, (Aud. et Vieillot). 



Trochilus aurulentus, Aud. et Vieill. Ois. Dor. i. p. 29, (1802). 

 Trochilus dominicus, Linnaeus ? 

 Trochilus margaritaceus, Gmelin ? 

 Gould, Monog. Troch. pt. xv. pi. Aud. et. Vieill. Ois. Dor. pi. 12, 13. 

 Numerous specimens of both sexes, and in mature plumage. 



12. Eulampis holosericeus, (Linnaeus). 



Trochilus holosericeus, Linn. Syst. Nat. i. p. 191, (1766). 

 Gould, Monog. Troch. pt. xiv. Aud. et Vieill. Ois. Dor. pi. 6, 65. 

 Appears to be this species, and evidently abundant in the Island of St. 

 Thomas. The numerous specimens in Mr. Swift's collection are in very fine 

 plumage. 



13. Conurus xanthol^emus, Sclater. 



Conurus xantholaemus, Sclat. Ann. and Mag. Nat. Hist. 1S59, p. 225. 

 Conurus chrysogenys, Massena et Souance, Rev. et. Mag. Zool. 1854, 

 p. 72? 

 Numerous specimens of both sexes, in mature plumage, and others, which 

 are young birds. This appears to be the bird described by Mr. Sclater, and 

 we much suspect is also the bird described by Messrs. Massena and Souance, 

 as above cited, its affinities being, perhaps, more accurately stated by the 

 latter authors. 



}4. Melanerpes portoricensis, (Daudin). 



Picus portoricensis, Daud. Am. du Mus. Paris, ii. p. 285, (1803). 

 Picus rubidicollis, Viell. Ois. d'Am. Sept. ii. p. 63, (1807). 

 Vieill. Ois. d'Am. Sept. ii. pi. 117. Shaw, Nat. Misc. xxii. pi. 953. 

 Several specimens in excellent plumage and preservation. 



15. Coccyzus seniculus, (Latham). 



Cuculus seniculus, Lath. Ind. Orn. i. p. 219, (1790). 

 Aud. B. of Am. pi. 169, oct. ed. iv. pi. 277 ? 

 Several specimens in Mr. Swift's collection, quite identical with others before 

 us, in Acad. Mus., labelled as from various localities in the West Indies, and 

 Northern South America ; but I think, scarcely, the bird figured by Audubon. 



16. Crotophaga ani, Linnaeus. 



Crotophaga ani, Linn. Syst. Nat. i. p. 154, (1766). 

 Buff. PI. Enl. 102. 

 Numerous specimens. 



17. Columba corensis, Jacquin. 



Columba corensis, Jacq. Beytr. Gesch. Vog. p. 31, (1784). 

 Columba monticola, Vieill. 

 Columba portoricensis, Temm. 

 Columba imbricata, Wagler. 

 Knip, Pigeons, i. pi. 15. De Sagra's Cuba, Aves, pi. 27.
