84 BIRDS OF THE BAHAMA ISLANDS. 
This little Vireo is very abundant throughout the islands. I 
found it especially common in the neighborhood of Nassau. Dr. 
Bryant considered it quite rare, as he says, ‘ This species of Vireo 
is, I think, undescribed. It is not a common bird; three specimens 
were all I obtained. When first seen, I mistook it for the White- 
eyed Vireo. I noticed nothing remarkable in its habits. All the 
specimens procured were actively engaged in hunting insects in 
small trees in the midst of a clearing, about three miles from the 
city, on the road leading to the south side of the island. The first 
specimen was procured in March, the other two, a pair, in May.” 
It is a resident, and breeds in June; but I was unable to find 
the nest, although during the latter part of the month I observed 
several birds which evidently had young. The stomachs of several 
specimens which I dissected contained the remains of berries and 
insects.
