Orthorhjnchus hoothi, Gundl. J. f. Orn. 1856, p. 99. 



Hab, Cuba. 



This beautiful species has never been met with elsewhere than 

 in the island of Cuba, and it does not appear to be very abundant 

 even there.

Orthorhynchus cristatus, Gould, Mon. Trochil. vol. iv. pi. cev. 



Hab. Barbadoes [Schomburgk], St. Vincent [Guilding). 



This handsome species has as yet only been met with on the 

 islands of St. Vincent and Barbadoes — a distinct species (or at 

 all events a race of the same form) inhabiting the island of 

 Santa Lucia, a little to the northward. 



Orthorhynchus exilis. 



Trochilus exilis, Gmel. Syst. Nat. vol. i. p. 484 (1788). 



Orthorhynchus exilis, Gould, Mon, Troch. vol. iv. pi. ccvii. 



Hab. Dominica {Taylor), Nevis, St, Thomas, Ste. Croix 

 {Newton) . 



This species appears to have, so far as our knowledge enables 

 us to say, a much wider range than its allies. It has been dis- 

 covered upon the four islands enumerated above ; but as there 

 are many others lying between Dominica and Nevis (the two 

 nearest together of those named), of the ornithic fauna of which 

 we are in perfect ignorance, it is natural to suppose it may be 

 found also on some of them, especially as the great islands of 

 Guadaloupe and Martinique are among those that intervene. 

 Up to the present time the species is only known from the four 

 islands given.
