* Omitting the lirst, apparently abnormally large specimen, 6'.2.2. 

 t Omitting tlie first specimen, 38.3. 



Although the number of specimens (32) is too small to allow of any con- 

 clusive results, the birds from Martinique-Grenada may be said to be a 

 smaller race than those from the north. Admitting tlie color into consid- 

 eration, we find that EupJionin flavifrons in the Lesser Antilles shows varia- 

 tions comparal)le to those of Vireosylvn calidris, which species is represented 

 by the large and rather pale T^. c. calidris from Dominica nortli ward (a form 

 in which, as in E.facifrons flavifrons, the color of the crown and occiput 

 tends to grade into the color of the back), while from Martinique to Grenada 

 the form T'. c. hnrhadense, smaller, clearer, and somewhat darker occurs. 



I liave not examined the specimen from St. Bartholomew. It may be 

 abnormally small, or may represent still another race, as in regard to this 

 species that island is in an apparently isolated position, no Euphonia hav- 

 ing as yet been found on Saba, St. Eustatius, St. Kitts, or Nevis. 



Tlie habitat of Ei(j)honi(i flavifrons viseivora may be given as Grenada, 

 St. Vincent, St. Lucia, and Martinique. The range of tlie species is, in ad- 

 dition, Dominica, Guadeloupe, Antigua, Barbuda, and St. Bartholomew. 

 Possibly it may yet be found on Nevis and St. Kitts, or on the higher alti- 

 tudes of St. Eustatius, as it is a bird whicli is, from its small size and retir- 

 ing Iiabits, very easy to overlook.
