Mr. E. C. Taylor on the Birds of the West Indies. 93 



mainland I found this bird much less numerous than in Trinidad. 

 I did not see it at all either in Martinique or Dominica, and do 

 not know whether it ever occurs in those islands. I found it 

 common both in St. Thomas and Porto E-ico, but not so abundant 

 in either place as in Trinidad. 



vl05. Crotophaga major, Sclater's Cat. no. 1907. 

 Occurs in Trinidad, where, however, it is rare. 



vl06. DiPLOPTERUS NiEVius, Sclatcr's Cat. no. 1911. 



Abundant in Trinidad, especially in clearings on the outskirts 

 of the forest. Creole name, " La Trinite." 

 y 107. Piaya cayana, Sclater's Cat. no. 1915. 



Not uncommon in Trinidad. 

 %/108. Ramphastos vitellinus, Sclater's Cat. no. 1936. 



This is, I believe, the only Toucan that occurs in Trinidad, 

 where it is not uncommon in the depths of the forest. 



^109. Dryocopus erythrops, Sclater's Cat. no. 1984. 



This fine large Woodpecker I obtained in Trinidad, but it is 

 not very common there. 



-./IIO. Celeus cinnamomeus, Sclater's Cat. no. 2007. 

 Pretty common in Trinidad. 



K^ 111. Chloronerpes rubiginosus, Sclater's Cat. no. 2026. 

 This small species is by far the commonest Woodpecker in 

 Trinidad. 



112. Chrysoptilus punctigularis, Sclater's Cat. no. 2029. 

 I never saw this species except in the vicinity of Barcelona in 



Venezuela, where I saw several, and procured two specimens. 

 I feel pretty sure that it never occurs in Trinidad. 



113. Centurus tricolor, Sclater's Cat. no. 2049. 



A common species in Venezuela ; but I never saw it or heard 

 of its occurring in Trinidad. 



114. Ara ararauna. Blue and Yellow Maccaw. 

 Abundant on the lower part of the Orinoco, where I saw 



quantities of them flying over the river just before sunset. 



115. CoNURUs PERTiNAX, Sclater's Cat. no. 2077. 



Very abundant in the vicinity of Barcelona in Venezuela,
