29. Myl\rchus oberi oberi Lawrence. 

 ( Pipiri Gros-Tete. 



One immature male from Ste. Rose, July 11th. 



The single specimen secured was one of the two birds of the species 

 I saw on the island. The pair was observed in an area of deciduous 

 scrub about four miles south of Ste. Rose. My guide, one of the best 

 chasseurs of that village, said he had never seen the bird before on 

 the island. The species was doubtfully recorded from Guadeloupe, 

 and Ridgway (Bull. 50, U. S. N. M., 1907, pt. 4, p. 618) questions 

 Guadeloupe as a locality for it. 



30. Bl.\cicus bruxxeicapillus La^Tcnce. 

 Gobe-INIouche Brun. 



One adult male from the Soufriere June 29th and eight adults and 

 half-grown specimens from Ste. Rose July 12th-16th. 



I found the Brown Flycatcher not rare in Guadeloupe, but rather 

 locally confined to the clearings in the deep woods. It seems to prefer 

 the solitude, of the forest, for it only comes into the open when hawking 

 flies. 



31. Elainea flavogastr.\ martinica (Linne). 

 Petit Pintade. Gobe-]Mouche huppe. 



Not a rare bird in the woody parts of Guadeloupe. Two specimens, 

 both sexes from Ste. Claude, July 3d ; two birds, one female and one 

 unsexed from Ste. Rose July 19th; and five specimens of both sexes 

 from the Soufriere June 29th. 



Near the highest part of the island visited, I took my first specimen 

 of Petit Pintade. Then in the heavy cover about Ste. Claude, July 4th 

 and near Morne Rouge, August 22d I observed several scattered flocks 

 of a few^ individuals. In the lowlands where large berry producing 

 trees are absent this species was rare. 



Clark (Proc. Bost. soc. nat. hist., 1905, 32, p. 208) has described 

 the song at some length. Only on rare occasions did I hear the bird 

 sing in Guadeloupe, and it was then a long clear whistle. In habits
