Euethia BicoLOR (Linn.). 



Euetheia bicolor Cory, B. W. I. p. 96. 



This Finch is abundant and resident in Grenada. 



Bellona cristata (Linn.). 



Bellona cristata Cory, B. W. I. p. 151. 



This beautiful little Humming-bird is to be found in 

 abundance everywhere, from the town of St. George to the 

 Grand Etang at an elevation of 2000 feet. I collected five 

 specimens. 



CoLUMBA SQUAMOSA. 



Columba squamosa Salvad. Cat. xxi. p. 280. 



Columba corensis Cory, B. W. I. p. 210. 



This fine Pigeon is abundant in the high woods of Grenada. 

 I obtained three examples at Grand Etang. They feed 

 on the large date-shaped seeds of a palm. They are ex- 

 ceedingly wary. I was told that during the eruption of the 

 Soufriere at St. Vincent enormous flocks of these Pigeons 

 arrived at Grenada and stopped for some weeks, and then 

 disappeared. The note of this species is a harsh " coo." 



Calliste cucullata (Swains.). 



Calliste cucullata Cory, B. W. I. p. 289. 



I found this Tanager very abundant at Grand Etang, 

 where it seems to resort to the woods. Its native name 

 there is the " Blue-bird." 



Elainea pagana (Licht.) . 



Elainea pagana Cory, B. W. I. p. 292. 



This species is, I believe, fairly abundant in Grenada, but 

 I did not see many examples. I shot one only; it differs 

 from Elainea martinica in having more yellow on the abdo- 

 men, yellower under wing-coverts, and a darker mantle and 

 crown. 



MviARCHUS TYRANNULUS. 



Myiarchus tyrannulus Scl. Cat. xiv. p. 251. 



Cory does not mention this species in his ' Birds of the 

 West Indies/ but gives M. oberi as occurring in Grenada. 

 The latter species may be found there, but M. tyrannulus is
