167. Memus hilt (March). For want of proper series of specimens for 
comparison, I am unable to decide the value of this supposed species. I have 
examined more than two hundred specimens from the Bahama Islands, but only two 
from Cuba, and three somewhat worn skins from Jamaica. It is doubtful, however, 
if the two forms are worthy of even subspecific separation. 
168. Genus Allenza. Cory, Auk, p. 42, 1891. 
169. Allenta montana. Cory, Auk, p. 42, 1892. Id., Margarops montanus, 
Birds of the West Indies, p. 29, 1880. 
170. Cory, Auk, p. 43, 1891. (Remarks on the distribution of JZ. fuscatus 
and M7. fuscatus densirostris.) 
171. Genus Crchklherminia Bonap. This genus should be placed with the 
true Zurdide and not the AZiémide, as 1 wrongly classified it in my article on the 
West Indian species of the genus (Auk, p. 43, 1891). 
172. Crchlherminia lawrencit. Cory, Auk, p. 44, 1891. 
173. Mimocichla schistacea Baird. ¥ According to Dr. Gundlach, the eggs of 
this species are somewhat different from those of JZ. rubripes. M. schistacea is 
found only in Eastern Cuba. Both J. schzstacea and M. rubripes occur in middle 
Cuba. 
174. Mimocichla ardesiaca albiventris (Sclater). Given a name by Mr. 
Sclater, P. Z. S., 1889, p. 326. Mr. Allen also described the Dominica species as 
Mimocichla verillorum, Auk, p. 217, 1891, but corrected the error, Auk, p. 317, 1891. 
(See also Sclater, Ibis, p. 612, 1889.) 
175. Mimocichla ravida, Cory, Auk, p. 499, 1886. Id., Birds of the West 
Indies, p. 285, 1889. 
176. Merula gymnophthalma Caban. I have examined and compared speci- 
mens from Grenada, St. Vincent, Tobago, Trinidad, and Venezuela. 
Mr. W. W. Brown procured a good series of this form in Tobago.
