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



At one time Mr. Salvin and I were inclined to believe that this 

 species was the same as C. cucuUata, Sw. (cf. Ibis, 1879, p. 357), 

 and that there might have been some error in the statement that 

 Swainson's species comes from Venezuela.

The present species is closely allied to 0. ver.ncoJor, but apparently 

 recognizable by the extremely dark colour of the cap, which is also 

 smaller and more restricted to the top of the head.
