1. Spinus cucullatixs (Swains.). 



Chapman observed two specimens on Monos Island. Tlio Tring Musenm 

 received a large series from the state of Cumana, Venezuela. There is no record of 

 its occurrence in Trinidad. The " Trinidad " specimens in the r.ritish Museum are of 

 the well-kuuwu " Orinoco "-make, and came eertainlv not from the island. 



-'. Phaeomyias incomta (('ah. & Heine). 



Myiopalix nemifiixca Chapman, Jliil/. Aiiier. Mns, vi. (1804) p. .'58 (Mouos Island). 

 P/ii/llomi/ids semi/ti6ca Taylor, Jbis 18G4. p. 86 (Triuidad). 



Chapman found this species only on Monos Island. Its occurrence on Trinidad 

 proper requires confirmation. 



About the nomenclature of the species cfr. Tor. Zool. ix. (1902) p. 41. 



3. Sublegatus fasciatus glaber Scl. & Salv. 



Siihlegiittis ylaber Chapman, Bull. Amn: Mas. vi. (1894) p. .j'j. 



Found by Chapman on Monos Island. 



4. Empidochanes fascatus cabanisi (Ldotaud). 



Emphloclumes cabanisi Chapman, Bull. Amer. Mas. vi. (18ll4) p. 41 (Monos Island). 



Chapman found it on Monos Island not uncommon. Leotaud had only a single 

 specimen before him, which perhaps was also obtained on one of the outlying- 

 islands. 



Chapman {Bull. Amer. Mus. vi. p. 42) separated the Tobago form as E. c. 

 canescens [= zireoninus Ridgw. 1886 ! ex Tobago], but the differences pointed out 

 by him do not exist. "We have both from the Orinoco (Altagracia) and from Tobago 

 brown-backed specimens with pale yellow uuderparts as well as grey-backed ones 

 with a nearly white belly. The same observation has been made by Conut Dalmas 

 {Mem. Soc. Zool. France xiii. lUUO, p. 139 : E. arenaceus). 



5. Formicivora intermedia intermedia Cab. 



Taylor, Ih,^, 18(U. p. 85 (Chacachacare). 



H. Taylor found it " abundant in the low, dry bush of the small island 

 Chacachacare," though he did not tiud it elsewhere. 



We have a large series from Cuman^. On Tobago it is represented by the 

 much larger and darker /''. intermedia tobagensis Dalmas {Mem. Soc. Zool. France 

 xiii. 19U0, p. 141). 



III.— HYPOTHETICAL LIST. 



In the following pages I give a critical list of those species which have 

 erroneously been recorded for Trinidad, or the occurrence of which has yet to be 

 proved. Some of them observed by Leotaud may be occasional stragglers from the 

 mainland, others may yet be discovered in the mountains of the northern part of 

 the island.
