PREFACE: 
HE present work is intended to be used in connection with the author's “ Birds 
of the West Indies,” and references are given in the appendix to all species not 
included in that work. The number éefore the name of a species or a subspecies 
indicates that it is mentioned in the appendix. 
The numbers which /od/ow the name of a group of islands indicate the 
different islands belonging to that group on which the species referred to has been 
taken; for example, Dendrotca dominica, Bahama Islands, 1-5, would mean that 
Dendroica dominica occurs in the Bahama Islands and has been recorded from Great 
Bahama and Eleuthera.

divisions or groups, in each of which the Islands are numbered as follows : —
