144 BIRDS OF THE WEST INDIES. 
75. Calyple helene (Gundl).” Regarding this species, Dr. Gundlach writes 
as follows (MS. letter, 1888): “The males do not have the red feathers on the 
throat until the second year, and no elongated red feathers until the third year. The 
red feathers are wanting in old birds in December and January.” Gundl., Auk, p. 
187; 1891. 
76. Doricha lyrura Gould. I have never seen a specimen of this species 
from Long Island, although I have killed D. evelyne there. My collectors have 
not taken it on Long Island, and I believe the species to be peculiar to the Island 
of Inagua. The habitat of the type as given by Gould may have been a mistake. 
Mr. Salvin, in Vol. XVI. of the Catalogue of the Birds of the British Museum, p. 
383, gives this species as occurring on Magua Island; but there is no such island in 
the West Indies, and the mistake probably occurred from the careless writing of the 
name Inagua by the collector. 
77. Bellona exilis, B. cristata,and PB. exilis ornatus. For remarks on the 
distribution of these species see Auk, p. 218, 1889. 
“08, Sporadinus riccordi (Gerv.). The Cuban and Bahama birds are appar- 
ently the same. Sporadinus bracec Lawrence is in my opinion not separable from 
this species. The type is a mummy, and the color may have changed somewhat. 
New Providence is but a few miles from Andros Island and Abaco, on both of which 
islands .S. v2ccord77 is common. 
79. Platypsaris. Sclater, P. Z.S., p. 72, 1857. Hadrostomus, Cab. Cory, 
Birds of the West Indies, p. 132, 18809. 
80. Milvulus tyrannus (Linn.). Wells, List of Birds of Grenada, p. 4, 1886. 
Cory, Birds of the West Indies, p. 132, 18809. 
81. Lyrannus dominicensis (Gmel.). This species has a concealed patch 
of orange on the crown. Mention of this was omitted in the description given in 
the Birds of the West Indies, p. 132, 18809. 
82. Tyrannus melancholicus couchii (Baird). In May, 1889, Mr. George 
N. Lawrence wrete me as follows: “ Not long since I received a Tyrannus from 
Dr. Gundlach, killed in Cuba, which he wished me to compare with 7. melancholicus. 
I found it to agree closely with a specimen in my collection from Yucatan, labelled 
as YL. satrapa. Mr. Ridgway considers this so-called sa¢rapa as not differing 
materially from couchz?.” The specimen is now in the Institute in Havana.
