issy.l Cory oh the Birds of Martinique, West Indies. Q^ 



Tlie St. Lucia bird differs from that found in Martinque in 

 having the upper parts brown instead of dark slate color. The 

 brown marking on the sides of the body is of a different shade, 

 the black on the lores is more extended, the tail-feathers are 

 broader, and the bird generally somewhat larger. 



The type is in my collection, No. 2500. 



A LIST OF THE BIRDS COLLECTED BY MR. W. B. 

 RICHARDSON, IN THE ISLAND OF MAR- 

 TINIQUE, WEST INDIES.* 



BY CHARLES B. CORY. 



Myiadestes genibarbis Swain- 



Margarops densirostris (Viei//.). This bird varies con- 

 siderably in coloration in the different islands where it occurs. 

 Specimens from Dominica are intermediate in color between 

 fuscatus and the true densirostris from Martinique. The St. 

 Lucia Margarops^ a single specimen of which is in mv collec- 

 tion, has the throat white, and the general color is darker than 

 in the Martinique bird. 



Margarops montanus ( I T ieill. ) . 



Cinclocerthia gutturalis (Lafr.). 



Mimus gilvus ( I7< ///.). 



Thryothorus martinicensis Scienter. 



Dendroica rufigula Baird. 



Seiurus noveboracensis ( Gme/.). 



Setophaga ruticilla (Li//;/.). 



Certhiola martinicana Reich. 



Vireo calidris (Li?///.). 



Euphonia flavifrons (Spam//,). 



Saltator guadeloupensis Z<?/>. 



Loxigilla noctis (Li////.). Much variation in coloration is 

 shown in specimens from different islands, but a careful examin- 

 ation of a large series of specimens fails to show any constant 

 characters by which they may be separated specifically.
