low ; wings with the quills and coverts blackish brown ; the smaller 

 coverts with so much of the tips olive as to appear almost wholly of 

 this color ; the greater coverts, and all the quill feathers except the first, 

 bordered externally with the same color, very narrowly on the prima- 

 ries, and suddenly wider on the secondaries, but only on the posterior 

 half, so that the closed wing presents a distinct blackish bar, running 

 nearl}' across its centre ; tail with the central feather, outer Aveb of 

 first and tips of all blackish-brown ; the rest bright chrome-yellow. 

 Beneath yellow, washed with olive on the flanks, and brightest on the 

 crissum. This bird, though a typical Chrj/somitris as far as color 

 goes, in the shape of the bill is about half way between this genus and 

 Loxia. The figure represents the lateral and vertical outline of the 

 bill in comparison with the same part of Chrysomitri^ notata.

Quiscalus. 



* f Quiscalus ater Baird. Two specimens from Jeremie have 

 been identified with this bird by Mr. Cassin of Philadelphia, and are 

 probably the same as Q. barita of Salle's list. A smaller specimen has 

 not yet been determined by Mr. Cassin. I am, however, inclined to 

 believe it to be the female ; and very likely both are identical, or 

 nearly so, with cras.sn"roA<ri.s of Jamaica, Porto Rico and Cuba, in which 

 case this latter name would sink into a synomyn. 



Corvus. 



* Corvus leucognaphalus. 



* Corvus jamaicensis. I have not seen this bird of Mr. Sal- 

 le's list, but should not be surprised if it differed somewhat from the 

 typical Jamaican bird, as by his account of its habits it is entirely 

 unlike the latter.
