MIMOCICHLA ARDOSIACEA ARDOSIACEA (Vieillot)

Turdus ardosiaceus Vieillot, Tabl. Enc. M6tli., vol. 2, 1822, p. 646 (Hispaniola).

Family DULIDAE, Palm-chats 



DULUS DOMINICUS DOMINICUS (Linnaeus) 



Palm-chat 



Tanagra dommica Linnaeus, Syst. Nat., ed. 12, vol. 1, 1766, p. 316 (Hispaniola).

Family VIREONIDAE, Vireos 



VIREO GUNDLACHII ORIENTALIS Todd 



East Cuban Vireo 



Vireo gundlachii orientaUs Todd, Ann. Carnegie Mus., vol. 10, Jan. 31, 1D16, 

 p. 256 (Arroyo Hondo, "Los Canos," Guantanamo, Cuba). 



A male was secured above the mouth of the Rio Gibara, near 

 Gibara, on February 24. 



The series of Gundlach's vireo in the National Museum, including 

 10 specimens from western Cuba and 7 from the eastern part of the 

 island, bears out clearly the characters of difference assigned by Todd 

 in distinguishing two races of this species. Without having exam- 

 ined the material in the Museum of Comparative Zoology on which 

 Doctor Barbour ^* based his conclusion that orientaUs was not valid, 

 I am led to consider that it may be recognized. The eastern form 

 is grayer above and clearer yellow below.

Musoieapa olivacea Linnaeus, Syst. Nat., ed. 12, vol. 1, 1766, p. 327 (Jamaica).
