 Calare, San Domingo, January 31, 1895. Collected by George K. Cherrie.

I have named this species in compliment to Mr. George K. 

 Cherrie, its discoverer. 



Among the species taken by Mr. Cherrie there are several 

 which are especially interesting, such as the previously unique 

 Mxiadestes viontanus Cory, several examples of which were pro- 

 cured, and a specimen of Colinus acbaiieiisis , being the first record 

 for San Domingo. 



Mr. Cherrie collected nearly two thousand birds. Those which 

 are of especial interest are : — 



Hvetornis fieldi nobis. Conurus chloropterus {Souance). 



Elainea cherriei 7iobis. Pitangus gabbii Lazvr. 



Colinus cubanensis ( Gould). Temnotrogon roseigaster ( Vieill.) 



Accipiter fringilloides Vig. Corvus solitarius Wart. 



Loximitrisdominicensisi?nYir«/.^ Cha?tura zonaris {S/iaTv).
