Brown noted the colors of the soft parts to be as follows: — "Iris, 

 brown; tarsus, bill, and bare skin of orbital region, coral red." 



MiMOCiCHLA RUBRiPES CORYI Sharpe. 



Twenty-three specimens, both sexes, all adult, Cayman Brae, 

 June and July. 



Unlike its cousin of the larger island, the Cayman Brae Thrush is an 

 extremely abundant bird. It is a very well-marked form, with a large 

 light-colored bill. 



ViREONIDAE. 

 ViREOSYLVA MAGISTER CAYTVLAJMENSIS (Cory). 



Twelve specimens, both sexes, all adult. Grand Cayijian, April and 

 May. 



Brown found this Vireo in the mangroves in Grand Cayman, where 

 it was not uncommon. It has been recorded from both Little Cayman 

 and Cayman Brae by Cory, but Brown did not find it in either of the 

 smaller islands, where its place seemed to be wholly taken by V. 

 calidris barbatula. 



The Grand Cayman Vireo is very closely related to true V. magister 

 LawT. of the coast of British Honduras, from which it differs only by 

 its paler coloration. 



ViREOSYLVA CALIDRIS BARBATULA (Cab.). 



Fifteen specimens, both sexes, all adult. Little Cayman and Cayman 

 Brae, June and July. ^ 



The Black-whiskered Vireo was very common in the two smaller 

 islands of the group. The skins show no differences when compared 

 with Cuban examples. 



ViREO CRASSiROSTRis CRASSiROSTRis (Bryant). 



Vireo alleni Cory, Auk, Oct. 1886, 3, p. 500-501, Grand Cayman. 



Seventeen specimens, both sexes, all adult, Grand Cayman, Little 

 Cayman, and Cayman Brae, April, May, June, and July. 



This series critically compared with our sixty-fovu- skins from the 

 Bahamas proves beyond a doubt that the much discussed V. alleni
