II. Chelidon erythrogaster. Bodd. Red-Bellied Swallow. 

 Hirundo rufa. Leotaud No. 42. 



Seen flying over infested sugar cane at Harmony Hall on 

 July 1, 1919; probably generally common. 



12. Stelgidopteryx uropygialis. Lawr. Yellow-Bellied Swallow. 

 Cotyle uropygialis. Leotaud No. 46. 



Noted on two occasions. 



(1) One shot at Wllliamsville on June 29, 1918 flying over a 

 sugar cane field infested with froghoppers, contained in its stomach a 

 number of winged ants, a Muscid fly, some small Hemiptera and 

 beetles. 



(2) One shot at Harmony Hall on August 28, 1919 on edge of a 

 sugar cane field infested with froghoppers contained small beetles 

 {Phytophaga and Curculionidae), various small flies and winged ants. 



Neither of these contained froghoppers, but in all probability 

 they would eat them if occasion arose. 



Family TANAGRED/E. Tanagers. 



13. Procnias viride. 111. The Blue Mantle. 

 Tersa ventralis. Leotaud No. 138. 



Two seen in the Maracas Valley among cacao on March 28, 1920 

 and another specimen in the same district on November 27, 1920. 

 Not seen in the open cane cultivation. 



14. Euphonia violacea. Linn. Semp or Louis d'or Simple. 



Leotaud No. 167. 



This bird is not uncommon in the wooded districts but I have 

 only two records. One was a nest stated to be of this species on a 

 lime tree near Port-of-Spain on June 24, 1919 ; and on March 4, 1919 

 I saw a female carrying nesting material to a nest in a mahogany tree 

 about twenty feet from ground in the Maracas Valley. 



15. Calliste desmaresti. Grey. Worthless. 

 Leotaud No. 164. 



This bird, which is greenish with a reddish brown head, is not 

 uncommon in Maracas Valley among the cacao and the forest, where 

 it feeds on seeds. I have only two records noted. 



Two seen on March 28, 1920 and one on November 12, 1920. 



The latter was eating the whitish berries of a species of Urera 

 {Urticaceoi)
