﻿328 Mr. E. Hartert on the Birds of 



The occurrence of this species here is very remarkable. 

 Cory (Cat. W. Ind. B. p. 112, 1892) only gives Jamaica, 

 Cuba, and Porto Rico as its habitats. 



6. Euetheia sharpei, Hartert. 

 Very common. See above, p. 314. 



7. Icterus xanthornus curacaoensis (Ridgw.). 

 Rather scarce on Bonaire. 



8. Myiarchus brevipennis, Hartert. 

 Not rare. See above, p. 318. 



9. Sublegatus glaber, Scl. et Salv. 



Not rare. Called on Bonaire "Para stranjero. 1 ' 



10. Tyrannus dominicensis (Gm.). 



Not rare, but perhaps less numerous than on Curasao. 

 Native name " Pitirri." 



11. Chrysolampis mosqditus (Linn.). 



Common. In the middle of July most of the specimens, 

 but not all, had passed through their moult. 



12. Chlorostilbon caribous, Lawr. 



Common. Most of the specimens were still in moult, but 

 a few very fine ones were shot. 



13. Stenopsis cayennensis (Gm.). 



Rare. Native name "Para de noche." See above, p. 319. 



14. Chrysotis rothschildi. (Plate IX.) 



Chrysotis rothschildi, Hartert, Bull. B. O. C. iii. p. xii; id. 

 Ibis, 1893, p. 123. 



The Amazon of Bonaire is allied to Chrysotis ochroptera 

 from Venezuela and Aruba, but may be distinguished from 

 it by the following characters : — 



(1) Instead of the entire sides of the head being yellow (as 

 in the adult C. ochroptera) , only the anterior part of the 

 crown, the space round the eyes, and the ear-coverts are 

 yellow, and the green colour reaches up to, or nearly to, the 

 lower mandible right and left of the chin. 



(2) While in adult specimens of C. ochroptera the chin 

 and entire throat are rich golden yellow, in C. rothschildi
