pp. l:S2-44, wlierein S5 species are recorded for the island. Mr. Andre sent 

 a collection of 4U0 specimens from Tobago to the Tring Museum containing 

 all the species mentioned by Dalmas, with the exception of two or three. Ten 

 subspecies are peculiar to the island of Tobago ; only four of these have repre- 

 sentatives on Trinidad, but of the others nearly allied races are found on the 

 Venezuelan mainland. Three (or perhaps fonr) species are common to Trinidad 

 and Tobago, while allied races take their place on the Paria coast.

Besides the ten forms jieculiar to Tobago, there are six species which are 

 known to occur on the mainland, but have not been fonnd on Trinidad. These are 

 the following species : 



Sj/orojiliihi aiitericariii (Gra.) (= Vmcatii auct.) Found also in ]>rit. (Juiana, 



Cayenne, Surinam ; but not in Venezuela. 

 Eiietlieia hicolor omissii (Jard.). Fonnd also in the state of Cumana, etc.

 Melaiterpeii ferricolor Berl. Known also from (Jumana, Orinoco, etc. 

 Ortalis riificatif/a (Jard.). Also fonnd on the Orinoco, but not yet recorded 



from Cumana. 

 The occurrence on ToViago of these l)irds is difficult to explain. Even if we 

 admit that the two Finches and the Ortalis might have been introduced, any such
