OBSERVATIONS ON THE BIRDS OF JAMAICA, 

 WEST INDIES. 



BY W. E. D. SCOTT. 



II. A LIST OF THE BIRDS RECORDED FROM THE ISLAND, 

 WITH ANNOTATIONS.* 



( Continued from f. i2g. ) 



1:4. Crotophaga ani /L/««. Ani ; Savanna Blackbird : Tick-bird.— 

 Common and very generally distributed in the region below one thousand 

 feet above sea level. Above that altitude some occur, though the birds 

 are not nearly so abundant. At Constant Springs, in the vicinity of 

 Kingston, I saw many daily during two weeks stay at that point. I 

 obtained a few individuals at Stotn' Hill, where the species was only 

 seen a few times during the month I spent at that locality. At Boston 

 and on the entire north side of the island at and near sea level the species 

 was one of the most abundant and conspicuous. At Boston on December 

 25, 1890, I took a young bird (No. 9824, coll. W. E. D. S.), just able to 

 fly, that was still in company with its'parents and was being fed by them. 



125. Saurothera vetula. {Li/n/.). Rain-bird. — This bird seems, as far as 

 I am aware, of rather rare occurrence. I met with only three individuals 



* Mr. Taylor's valuable notes, though promised, have not come to hand for this in- 

 stalment of this paper, but the author hopes to include them in the October or the 

 January part, concluding this series of observations.
