Mr. E. C. Taylor on the Birds of the West Indies. 171 



31. Chrysotis vittata, Bodd. 



Abundant in Porto Rico, where it is generally to be seen in 

 small flocks. 



32. CoNURUS XANTHOLiEMUs, Sclater. 

 Obtained in St. Thomas. 



33. COLUMBA CORENSIS, Gm. 



I obtained a specimen of this fine large Pigeon in Dominica, 

 where it is pretty common on the mountains and in the forests. 

 It also occurs in Porto Rico, where, however, it is less abundant 

 than the next species. In Dominica it is called Ramie?'. Legs 

 and feet dull red. 



34. CoLUMBA LEUcocEPHALA, Linn. 

 Very abundant in Porto Rico. 



35. Zenaida martinicana, Bp. Consp. ii. p. 82. 



This Dove is very common both in Dominica and Porto Rico, 

 and probably in Martinique also, though I did not happen to see 

 it there myself. Legs and feet bright red. 



36. Geotrygon MONTANA, Bp. Cousp. ii. p. 72. 



This species is not uncommon in Porto Rico, where it by no 

 means confines itself to the mountains, as its name would imply; 

 for I have frequently seen it in low-lying bush and forest near 

 the coast. Legs and eyelids bright red. This bird is generally 

 to be seen on the ground, and not in trees. 



37. CHAM.EOPELIA TROCHILA, Bp. CoUSp. ii. p. 77. 



Very abundant in Porto Rico and St. Thomas, from the 

 latter of which islands my specimens were obtained. This 

 species is very like Chamaopelia passei'ina of North America, 

 but very unlike any of the species of Ground-Dove I obtained in 

 Trinidad or Venezuela. 



38. Ardea c^rulea. 

 Common in Porto Rico. 



39. BUTORIDES virescens. 



Abundant in Dominica and Porto Rico. Legs and feet 

 yellow. 



40. PORPHYRIO MARTINICA. 



This bird, which in size and habits much resembles Gallinula
