rence"), I fail to distinguish any tangible difference between it and aver- 

 age examples of 0. cristatus from Grenada. Although the specimens on 

 which 0. emigrans was based were said to have come from Venezuela, Mr. 

 Lawrence writes me that he now has reason to believe that the locality 

 was " doubtless erroneous," and adds : " The dealer I got the specimens 

 from received them from Venezuela, but afterwards he learned that they 

 were probably sent from the West Indies." So far as known, therefore, 

 OrthorJiynchus is a strictly West Indian type. 



§29. Chrysotis bouqueti {Bcch.). (See Scl., P. Z. S., 1874, 223; 

 Hid., 1875, 59, 316, pi. xi.) Mr. Semper has sent four specimens 

 of this, which seems to be not a rare species in Santa Lucia.

31. Coccygus minor (Gm.). 



32. Antrostomus rutilus, Burm. 



33. Ceryle alcyon (Linn.). 



34. Tinnunculus sparverius antillarum (Gm.). Dr. Sclater says 



that in his skins of this species from Santa Lucia there is " no 

 chestnut spot on the head of the male, as in specimens from Saint 

 Croix" (P. Z. S., 1871, 273). In the four males received from 

 Mr. Semper the crown is strongly varied with rufous, which in 

 two amounts to a well-defined rufous spot.
