blue with bright chestnut throat patch. Of forty-nine individuals 

 collected but fourteen are adult males. Two birds are in intermediate 

 plumage though not moulting, showing traces of the blue adult plumage 

 and some chestnut feathers on the throat. The birds bred in June and the 

 nest is described by Gosse (Birds of Jamaica, p. 237). Quite gregarious at 

 Stonv Hill. In December the birds feed exclusively on mangos, 'sour 

 sop,' and other wild fruits, so far as could be ascertained. 



184. Mniotilta varia {Linn.). Black-and-white Warbler.— Not 

 uncommon during December and January at all points visited on the 

 island. 



185. Helinaia swainsonii ^4«rf. Swainson's Warbler. — Recorded by 

 A. & E. Newton (Handbook of Jamaica, 1881, p. 105). Mr. Taylor 

 regards this and the following species as very rare on the island. 



186. Helmitherus vermivorus {Gmel.). Worm-eating Warbler. — 

 Specimens of this speeies were taken at Stony Hill on December 1, 13, 

 and 16, 1890, and at Priestman's River on JanuaryS and 17, 1891. It seems 

 to be a regular winter resident, though rare. 



187. Compsothlypis americana {Linn.). Parula Warbler. — A 

 common migrant and winter resident. Met with at all points visited. 



188. Dendroica tigrina {Gmel.). Cape May Warbler. — A not 

 uncommon winter resident. Individuals were procured at all points 

 where collecting was prosecuted, some ten in all. 



189. Dendroica petechia {Linn.). — At Buff Bay on December 24, 1890, 

 I saw a Yellow Warbler which was probably to be referred to this form, and 

 this was the only time that the species was observed by me. Gosse 

 regarded it as a migrant and winter visitor. (Birds of Jamaica, p. 157) 



190. Dendroica eoa {Gosse). Aurora Warbler. — The type speci- 

 mens of this species are in the collections of the British Museum. They 

 were taken in January (21 and 24) in the same locality on the island by the 

 late Philip Henry Gosse. 



191. Dendroica caerulescens {Gmel.). Black-throated Blue 

 Warbler. — A rather common winter resident, and generally distributed. 



192. Dendroica coronata {Linn.). Myrtle Warbler.— Observed 

 throughout the winter months in small companies, and not generally 

 distributed. 



193. Dendroica striata {Forst.). Blackpoll Warbler.— For records 

 of this species see A. & E. Newton, Handbook of Jamaica, 1881, p. 106. 



194. Dendroica pharetra {Gosse). Arrowheaded Warbler. — A 

 species described by Gosse from a single individual taken on the 9th of 

 February on the top of Bluefields Peak. 



T95. Dendroica dominica {Linn.). Yellow-throated Warbler. — 

 A common winter resident and probably breeds, though Gosse regarded it 

 as a migrant species, and yet speaks of individuals obtained on August 16. 



196. Dendroica dominica albilora Baird. Sycamore Warbler. — 

 Of forty-six Yellow-throated Warblers collected on the island twenty-two 

 are referable to D. dominica and twenty-four are clearly typical represent-
