RESULTS OF THE TRIP. 1G5 



I saw none of these in June, but in July the tamarind-trees 

 were in bloom, and there were swarms around every tree. 

 Nearly, all, however, were in poor plumage, as they were just 

 moulting. Gould's ^lonoyraph. 

 IG. Chlokostilbon atala (Less.). Atala Humming-bird. 



I saw many of these in June and more in July, when they also 

 were feeding on the tamarind blossoms. Gould's Monograj:)]^ 



17. IcTp]Rus ICTERUS (LiNN.). Troupial. 



All of the troupials that I saw were caged birds, but I was 

 told that the bird is found and breeds on the island. The 

 natives apply the name " troupial " or " turupial " to both this 

 and the following species, so that I cannot tell how much 

 weight to give to my information. And. B. of N. A. vol. 7, 

 pi. 499. 



18. Icterus XANTHORNUS cuRASOENSis (RiDGW.). Curagao Oriole. 

 I saw a small flock of five or six in June, and in July I saw 



three more. PI. in this work. 



19. ZoxoTRiCHiA piLEATA (BoDD.). Pileated Sparrow. 



This handsome sparrow I found quite common in a little valley 

 near the monastery. Descourtilz, Ornitlioloyie Uresillemie. 



20. EuETHEiA BicoLOR (LiNN.). Grassquit. 



We saw quantities of these wherever we went on the island. 

 On July 2G we found a nest with three eggs. 



21. C(EREBA UROPYGiALis (V. Berl.). Cura^'ao Houey-crecper. 



I saw but few in June, but in July they were abundant, and 

 were seen in the tamarind-trees with the humming-birds. They 

 have a feeble lisping song more like that of an insect than that 

 of a bird. 



22. Dexdroica rufo-pileata (Ridgw.). Curagao Warbler. 



These were abundant. Their sono- is much like that of our 

 yellow warbler. 



23. MiMUS GiLVUS ROSTRATUS (RiDGW.). Curagao Mocking-bird. 



These birds were abundant. I even saw some sinoin«- from 

 the housetops in the town. Both of my specimens were young.
