Setophaga ruticilla (Linn.). 

 Setophaga ruticilla Cory, B. W. I. p. 60. 

 I shot one example of this species, an adult female. I saw 

 several others in a lime-grove. 



Certhiola dominicana Taylor. 



Certhiola dominicana Cory, B. W. I. p. 65. 



The Dominican Honey-creeper is very abundant, especially 

 among the lime-groves. I shot eight specimens. I cannot 

 quite understand Cory's statement in his description of this 

 species, that the superciliary stripe is lacking or extremely 

 indistinct in front of the eye. All my specimens had the 

 eye-stripe very plainly marked from the whitish forehead 

 nearly to the nape. 



Vireo calidris (Linn.). 



Vireo calidris Cory, B. W. I. p. 76. 



Vireosylvia calidris, var. dominicana Lawr., Pr. U.S. Nat. 

 Mus. i. p. 55 (1878). 



The two female specimens obtained have the crown 

 coloured as in those from St. Lucia, but differ slightly from 

 them in having buff superciliary stripes and a buffy wash 

 about the face. They were both shot in a grove of lime- 

 trees. 



Saltator guadeloupensis Lafr. 

 Saltator guadeloupensis Cory, B. W. I. p. 88. 

 This bird was not uncommon in the river-valley. I shot 

 a pair in some lime-bushes. 



Loxigilla noctis (Linn.). 



Loxigilla noctis Cory, B. W. I. p. 91. 



This is an abundant species at Dominica; it had appa- 

 rently finished breeding, and I was able to get a fine series 

 of young birds in several stages of plumage. 



Euethia bicolor (Linn.). 



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



This bird is numerous in Dominica.
