from New Pi'ovide?ice, Bahamas, 507 



<? ad. Near Nassau, 20th April, 1898. 



Fairly common iu the thick bush, but seldom seen, owing 

 to its skulking habits. On every occasion on which I saw 

 it I found it remarkably tame, taking no notice of me, 

 although only a few feet distant. The song, which bears a 

 family resemblance to that of our Common Thrush, may be 

 frequently heard in the morning and evening.

Mimus polyglottus Bonhote, Bull. B. 0. C. no. Ixiv. p. liv. 

 ? ad. Nassau, 30th September, 1898. 



The only specimen of this species met with. It differs 

 slightly from typical specimens in having the outer tail- 

 feathers dark brown nearly to their tip instead of being 

 white ; there are also various other minor differences, but the 

 collection in the British Museum shows so many variations 

 that it cannot be considered a new form.
