This can never refer to CalUphlox ametlii/stina with which Chapman and Salvin 

 identified Leotand's description. 



Besides Leotand's, we have no other record of this species occnrring on 

 Trinidad. The only specimens with exact localities I have seen are those in Tring 

 (1 c?, 1 ?), which were collected near CumanA b_v one of Mr. Andre's men. 



IT. Chaetura spinicauda (Temm.). 



Chapman, BiiV. Amrr. Mus. vi. p. rjS (Trinidad). 



I have not seen any specimens from Trinidad, and I jj^reatly donLt its occnrrence 

 there. It is not obvions from Ciiapraan's account whetlier lie got an example of 

 the species, and its claims to be included in the ftiuna of Trinidad cannot be 

 considered as established. 



IS. Cypseloides rutilus (Vieill.). 

 Neither Chapman nor Andre's collectors ever met with this remarkable bird, 

 bnt according to the former ornithologist, there is one specimen in Leotand's 

 collection. The French naturalist, however, leaves it an ojten question whether it 

 breeds on the island or not, and after all it may be only a straggler there. 



19. Chordeiles acutipennis acutipennis (Bodd.). 



Althongh Leotand (p. 7(1) says that this species is the most common of all 

 Goatsuckers, it has not been observed either by Chapman or Andre. From his 

 observations it is evidently only a winter visitor. 



20. Podager nacunda (Vieill.). 

 According to Leotaud (]). 79) it is a common winter visitor between the months 

 of July and October. 



21. Chrysoptilus punctigula (Bodd.). 

 Erroneously recorded from Trinidad in the Cat. Birds xviii. p. \\C^. The 

 species occurs only in Cayenne and Surinam. On the Orinoco River and in 

 Veneznela, near Valencia, a nearly allied form, C. p. puKCtipcctus Cab. & Heine, 

 takes its place. 



22. Coccyzus pumilus Strickl. 

 This species, although descrilied as coming from " Trinidad," is now ascertained 

 to be only an inhabitant of the upper Orinoco valley and the eastern slopes of the 

 Andes in Colombia. I have seen a large number of Bogota skins. Tiic original 

 locality was doubtless erroneous. 



23. Urochroma hueti (Temm.). 

 According to Leotaud (p. 332) this species, " est de passage ici, et encore 

 ne vient-elle nons visiter qn'5,de long intervalles." I have never seen a specimen 

 from Trinidad.
