1. Margarops densirostris (Vieill.). 

 " Thrush. 



"In the valle.vs among the southern hills, where are about the only 

 rivulets and trees, we find this bird. It is not eominon, rather rare, and 

 its song is heard only morning and evening; at this season little more than 

 a call-note. Think it identical with the ' Gros Grive' — Large Thrush — of 

 Dominica. Xot yet out of moulting stage ; resident." 



Fam. SYLVICOLIDiE. 



2. Siurus naevius (Bodd.). 

 " Water Thrush. 



"Eare; along a river bed among the hills, very shy; when it would 

 perceive me, it hastily ran along a few rods, and then darted into the 

 thicket, reappearing at some distance up or down the stream." 



3. Siurus motacilla (Vieill.).

5. Setophaga ruticilla (Linu.). 

 " Redstart. 



" Kare ; seen only in the upper valleys of the southern hills. In per-
