This is a small group peculiar to the Antilles. It is hardly 

 different in structure from TaiHKjra, but may be kept distinct con- 

 veniently on account of its distribution and peculiar ornamentation 

 The male dress is of a brilliant orange, varied with black and white 

 stripes and markings. The females are duller and distinct in 

 plumage. The nest of ^S". nkjrkephala, as described by Gosse is 

 open and cup-shaped, and placed in trees or shrubs. The en-o-s are 

 spotted. ""
