7. Cherrie on Birds from San Domingo. 



[Contribution to the Ornithology of San Domingo. By George K. 

 Cherrie. Field Columbian Museum Publication 10. Ornithological 

 Series. Vol. i. no. 1, 1896.] 



After a preliminary account of his routes and adventures 

 in San Domingo, where he landed at Santo Domingo city 

 on January 8th, 1895, Mr. Cherrie, who was sent on a col- 

 lecting excursion by the authorities of the Field Columbian 

 Museum of Chicago, gives us a list of the birds of which he 

 obtained specimens, and adds valuable field-notes on each 

 species. Mr. Cory and his collectors having made almost a 

 clean sweep of the island so far as birds are concerned, only 

 two new species {Elainea cherriei and Hyetornis fieldi, pre- 

 viously characterized by Mr. Cory) were discovered ; but 

 Mr. Cherrie obtained good series of specimens of such little- 

 known birds as Microligea palustris, Euphonia musica, Phoeni- 

 cophilus palmarum (the most abundant bird in San Domingo !), 

 Loxomitris dominicensis, and Nesoctites micromegas, besides 

 a single example of Pitangus gahbi and three of Calypto- 

 philus frugivorus. 



We regret to observe that Mr. F. J. V. Skiff", in a notice 

 of the publications of this new Museum, attached to this 

 paper, uses the horrible word " scientist " instead of " scient^^ 

 which is an exact equivalent and a correctly formed term.
