atives of D. dominica albilora. These birds were collected at several 

 points, but were perhaps a litile more common at the lower levels. 



197. Dendroica virens {Gmel.). Black-throated Green Warbler. 

 — Not met with by the author. See A. & E. Newton. Handbook of 

 Jamaica, 1881, p. 106. 



198 Dendroica palmarum {Gmel.). Palm Warbler. — Taken at 

 Stony Hill and at Priestman's River, and noted at Kingston. Not very 

 common. 



199. Dendroica palmarum hypochrysea Ridg-v. Yellow Palm 

 Warbler. — A single individual was observed in a garden in Kingston on 

 December 20, 1890, by the author. 



200. Dendroica discolor (Vieill.). Prairie Warbler. — A rather 

 common species at the points visited. Some probably breed on the island , 

 for Gosse recorded the species on the 18th of August. (Birds of Jamaica, 



P- I59-) 



201. Seiurus aurocapillus (Linn.). Ovenbird. — A not uncommon 

 winter resident. 



202. Seiurus noveboracensis (Gmel.). Water-thrush. — Met with 

 but once on the island, $ (No. 10,524), Priestman's River, 21 January, 

 1891. 



203. Seiurus motacilla (Vieill.). Louisiana Water-thrush. — Taken 

 at Stony Hill and Priestman's River, six specimens in all. A rather 

 common winter resident. 



204. Geothlypis trichas (Linn.). Maryland Yellowthroat. — 

 Obtained at all points visited. A common winter resident. I did not 

 remain late enough on the island to ascertain if the species breeds there. 



205. Sylvania mitrata (Gmel.). Hooded Warbler. — Not observed. 

 See Baird, Rev. Am. B., p. 239, and A. & E. Newton, Handbook Jamaica,' 

 1881 , p. 106. 



206. Setophaga ruticilla (Linn.). American Redstart. — Acommon 

 winter resident. Probably breeds, as Gosse records it from the mountains 

 of St. Elizabeth on August 10. (Birds of Jamaica, p. 165.) 



207. Mimus hillii March. — Very local in distribution and appears to 

 be rare even where it occurs. I did not meet with representatives. At a 

 point near Port Henderson, about opposite Port Royal, across the bay, is a 

 point known as Salt Pond hills. It is an arid region with much cactus 

 growing. Mr. C. B. Taylor tells me that he has met with this species only 

 at this point, where he took two birds in June, 1891. 



208. Mimus orpheus (Linn.). Jamaica Mockingbird. One of the 

 most abundant and conspicuous species in the lowlands, becoming more 

 uncommon at high altitudes. Seen everywhere and in full song late 

 in December and early in January. They were nesting generally at 

 Priestman's River by February 20. 



209. Myadestes solitarius Baird. Solitaire. — Said to bean abundant 

 species at all points of very high altitude, and commonly believed to be 

 restricted in its lowest range to about 5000 feet above the sea. On Febru-
