Euetheia bicolor {Linn.). 

 Icterus bonana {Linn.). 

 Quiscalus inflexirostris {Swain.). 

 Elainea martinica {Linn.). 



Blacicus martinicensis, sp. nov. 



Sp. Char. — Top of the head smoky black; back and upper tail-coverts 

 dark olive; throat ashy, becoming tinged with tawny brown on the breast; 

 belly dull rufous brown, extending upon the under tail-coverts ; tail dark 

 brown ; upper mandible black; under mandible pale yellow; feet dark. 



Length, 4. So; wing, 2.60; tail, 2.50; tarsus, .60; bill, .50. 

 Habitat. Martinique, West Indies. 



This supposed new species resembles Blacicus brunneicapillus, 

 but has the rufous tinge paler on the underparts. The head and 

 neck are darker. A larger series would determine more satisfac- 

 torily whether the Martinique bird is not a dark-colored wanderer 

 from Dominica ; hut judging from the material before me I am 

 forced to consider them distinct.
