so that at present they are considered hypothetical. These last are 

 included in the general account that follows but the statement regard- 

 ing them is placed in brackets to indicate that their status in the list 

 is not definite. 



The following references given in the works of older authors as 

 relating to birds from Hispaniola do not pertain to species of that 

 area, or may not be identified successfully from the data given: 



Tamatia a tete c& Gorge Rouges, Button, Hist. Nat. Ois., vol. 7, 

 1780, p. 97, "Saint-Domingue." This is a species of barbet figured 

 as the Barbu, de St. Domingue, by Daubenton, Planch. Enl., p. 206, 

 fig. 2, and is accredited to Hispaniola through some misunderstand- 

 ing of the locality from which it came. 



Chiroxiphia pareola, Tristram, Cat. Coll. Birds belonging H. B. 

 Tristram, 1889, p. 121, listed as "(?) a. San Domingo, 1887.— A. S. 

 Toogood " is certainly an error, as this bird known now as Chiroprion 

 pareola ranges from the Amazon Valley and Guiana to the Island of 

 Tobago. 



F ormicarius brachyurus, Hartlaub, Isis, 1847, p. 609, listed from 

 Hispaniola is properly known as B amp hoc Indus brachyurus, a 

 species confined to the island of Martinique. 



Muscicapa coronata, Bitter, Naturh. Keis. Westind. Insel Hayti, 

 1836, p. 156. "Buff. 298, gekronter Fliegenf anger;" and Muscicapa 

 coronata "Azaras Churrinche," Hartlaub, Isis, 1847, p. 609, listed 

 from Hispaniola, may refer to the vermilion flycatcher Pyrocephalus 

 rubinus, a species ranging in continental America from the south- 

 western United States to Argentina. 



The following may refer to species of Hispaniola but give no 

 certain clue through which they may be identified : 



Ficedula Carolinensis Brisson, Ornith., vol. 3, 1760, pp. 486-488. 

 (" S. Domingue," described from a specimen sent by Chervain to de 

 Reaumur.) 



Ficedula Dominicensis fusca Bresson, Ornith., vol. 3, 1760, pp. 

 513-515, pi. 28, fig. 5. (" S. Domingue," described from a specimen 

 sent by Chervain to de Reaumur, is perhaps a warbler.) 



Muscicapa Americana Brisson, Ornith., vol. 2, 1760, pp. 383-386. 

 (" S. Domingue," sent by Chervain to de Reaumur.) 



Parra calidris Ritter, Naturh. Reis. Westind. Insel Hayti, 1836, 

 p. 157. (Listed without comment.) 



Sylvia griseicollis Vieillot, Hist. Nat. Ois. Amer. Sept., vol. 2, 

 1807, pp. 29-30, pi. 87. ("Saint-Domingue;" apparently a species 

 of warbler.) 



Sylvicola griseocollis Hartlaub, Isis, 1847, p. 609. (Listed from 

 Hispaniola; probably taken from Vieillot's Sylvia griseicollis.)
