Similar to C. iwrtoricensis, but throat (perhaps) rather darker 

 grey. 



Hah. St. Thomas, W. I. 



I confess I should hardly have separated this form, as far as my 

 specimens go, from 6'. portoricensis, hut I follow Mr. llidgway's 

 lead.

" A peculiar species, distinguishable by the greyish-white fore- 

 head, the slight olivaceous yellow uropygial band, and the very 

 small wing-spot." {Finsch.) 



Hah. St. Bartholomew, W. I. 



I am not sure that the white front is a very reliable character, 

 as it appears in one specimen of C. newtoni and not in another. 



10. CertMola saccharina. 



Certhiola saccharina, Lator. Ann. N. Y. Acad. Set. i. p. 150 ; id. Proc. 

 U. S. N. M. 1878, pp. 190,487 ; Ridgio. Pr. U. S. N. M. 1885, p. 28. 



Above sooty black ; rump bright yellow ; saperciliaries from 

 front to neck white ; wing- spot white ; below, throat dark ashy, 

 belly bright yellow ; crissum, under wing-coverts, and inner mar- 

 gins of wing-feathers white ; tail black, tipped with white ; bill 

 black ; feet dark brown : whole length 4 inches, wing 2"3, tail 1"4. 



Hah. St. Vincent and Grenada, W. I. 



The description is from a Grenada skin kindly lent by Mr. Law- 

 rence. The species seems nearest to G. newtoni, but has a broad 

 yellow rump and more yellowish belly.
