ear-coverts, and has not the streaks of the same colour on 

 the sides of the breast which are characteristic of D. vitellina. 

 Besides, the dark line through the eye is pale and is not 

 continued beyond the eye, and the upper parts are more 

 greenish yellow than in the bird of Grand Cayman. I have 

 also examined a specimen of Dendroeca craivfordi which 

 was procured on Cayman Brae by Dr. Sharpe.

There appears to be no difference between examples of 

 this species from Grand Cayman and Little Cayman. I 

 obtained four examples on Little Cayman. The young birds 

 are greyer on the back than the adults.

Quiscalus gundlachii Cory, B. W. I. p. 113. 



This Cuban species is common on Little Cayman, especi- 

 ally near the mangrove-swamp in which the Gannets breed. 

 Iris pale yellow ; bill, tarsi, and toes black.

 I saAV a few examples of this species on Little Cayman 

 and obtained a female.

This Dove is usually seen among the mangroves ; I shot 

 my specimens close to the Gannetry. The male is of a 

 deeper rufous colour than the female. I have not been able 

 to compare my skins with examples from Grand Cayman, as 

 there are none from the latter island in the British Museum. 

 Cory has provisionally separated the Little Cayman bird as 

 Z. richardsoni (Auk, iv. p. 7, 1887) on the strength of a 

 single specimen, which he says is lighter coloured and has the 

 metallic feathers of the neck somewhat differently coloured,
