Itidae, extending in winter to Peru^ but to the Bahamas only 

 of the West-Indian Islands.

Holbox I. (December) ; Mugeres I. (December) ; Cozumel 

 I. (April) ; Ruatan I.; Bonacca I. (September). 



Hardly any of the specimens from these islands have the lores 



pure white^ a certain amount of yellow being visible in nearly 



I all of them. Nor can I discover any differences of dimen- 



""I sions by which they can be distinguished from Jamaican 



examples, the ti'ue D. dom'mica (Linn.). In fact, I quite fail 



i to appreciate D. albilora even as a race. 



'27. Dendrceca virens.

Holbox I. ; Cozumel I. 



Specimens in all stages of plumage. 



A widely spread migratory species, very common in Gua- 

 temala in the winter months, and spreading as far as the 

 State of Panama. It also occurs in Cuba, Jamaica, and 

 Dominica. 



^-^ 28. Dendrceca discolor.

Mugeres I. (December) ; Cozumel I. (January, Benedict) ; 

 Bonacca I. (September). 



This species, a winter visitor to the West-Indian Islands, 

 is now known from several islands off the coast of the main- 

 land. As I have already remarked, it can hardly fail to be 

 found on the north coast of Honduras and the North-eastern 

 portion of Yucatan. 



The specimen from Mugeres Island is in adult plumage. 

 Two from Bonacca are vouner.
