 ^I give Grenada for the specues on the authority of Mr. Cory. The only example 

 of Ccereba from that island in the National Museum collection, except the uniformly 

 l)lack C. wellsi Cory, is apparently C. saccharina; at lea-t it agrees fairly well with 

 our single example of that form, and is conspicuously different from C. hUeola in its 

 very dark (blackish slate) throat, yellowish olive (instead of clear yellow) rumji, 

 and brownish slaty (instead of sooty black) back. I have referred it, provisionally, 

 to C. saccharina.
