 cludes nearly all the species previously recorded from Haiti and 

 Santo Domingo, besides a number new to the Island, and four 

 new species.*

 Soc. Nat. Hist., Vol. XI, p. 89) contains a number of species 

 not observed by our party. Some of them are questionable, be- 

 ing in all probability wrongly identified. They are as follows:

 jamaicensis? Progne do7ni>iice)isis, Saurothera vieillotii, 

 Picus passer i nits, Conurus chloropterus? Columba corensis,
