138 BIRDS OF THE WEST INDIES 
The occurrence of Porzana noveboracens?s is not improbable, however, as it 
gular, though somewhat rare, winter visitor in Florida. The writer has killed 
is a reg 
three birds of this species in the marshes of the upper St. John’s River in Florida. 
24. M. griseus Feilden, Ibis, 1889, p. 492. 
25. 7. ferruginea. Given by Wells. List of Birds of Grenada, published 
in Grenada, 1886. 
26. Machetes pugnax (Linn.), Feilden, Ibis, p. 494, 1889 (Barbados). 
27. Vanellus vanellus (Linn.). Recorded by Feilden. Vanellus cristatus. 
Zodlogist, 1888, p. 301. Cory, Birds of the West Indies, p. 297, 1889. 
28. A. hiaticula. Feilden, Ibis, 1889, p. 491. Barbados. 
29. Ortalida ruficauda Lawrence. Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., p. 278, 1878. 
Union Island, Grenadines. 
30. Colinus virgintanus (Linn.). Considerable variation in the coloration 
of birds from different islands. Some specimens from Antigua show practically no 
chestnut on the breast, and the birds are small. Birds from the Bahamas and San 
Domingo vary in the amount of chestnut, and size and shape of the banding of the 
under parts. See Birds of the West Indies, p. 224, 1889. Feilden records it 
from Barbados (Ibis, p. 490, 1880). 
31. Columba caribea. Gosse, in his Birds of Jamaica, p. 296, refers to this 
species as being found in Porto Rico, often “in large flocks.” Gundlach did not 
observe it on that island, and it has not been recorded by later writers. 
32. Zenaida zenaida (Bonap.). Recorded from some of the Lesser Antilles, 
including Barbados. (Feilden, Ibis, 1889, p. 477.) But some of the so-called Zenazda 
zenaida Which I have seen from the Lesser Antilles approach Zenxazda castanea in the 
coloration of the under tail-coverts. Several specimens from Antigua in the series 
now before me have the under tail-coverts faintly tinged with rufous. Some speci- 
mens from St. Eustatius seem to be intermediate in color, between Zenazda senarda 
and Zenaida castanea. Zenaida richardson, described by me (Auk IV., p. 4, 1887), 
I now believe to be an immature and rather odd-colored specimen of Zenxazda 
zenatda (Linn,). 
33. Zenaida castanea Wagl. This should stand as cas¢anea Wag). (Ridgw., 
Man. N. A. Birds, p. 213, 1887), not marténicana, the latter being one of Brisson’s 
names.
