  mentions 
  that 
  he

  IV, 
  Birds 
  of 
  Bonaire. 
  

  

  Bonaire, 
  the 
  most 
  oceanic 
  island 
  of 
  the 
  three, 
  is 
  generally 
  

   more 
  wooded 
  than 
  the 
  other 
  two, 
  although 
  some 
  parts 
  of 
  it 
  

   are 
  very 
  bare. 
  

  

  Nothing 
  has 
  yet 
  been 
  published 
  on 
  the 
  birds 
  of 
  Bonaire. 
  

   Professor 
  Martin, 
  who 
  stayed 
  on 
  the 
  island 
  for 
  five 
  days 
  

   only, 
  mentions 
  that 
  he 
  saw 
  Colmnbigallina 
  passerina 
  and 
  a 
  

   Conurus 
  different 
  from 
  that 
  of 
  Aruba, 
  as 
  also 
  from 
  C. 
  per- 
  

   tinax, 
  and 
  it 
  will 
  be 
  seen 
  that 
  his 
  surmise 
  on 
  this 
  point 
  

   was 
  correct. 
  We 
  also 
  know 
  that 
  Dr. 
  A. 
  A. 
  Julien 
  informed 
  

   Mr. 
  Lawrence 
  that 
  the 
  Chrysotis 
  of 
  Aruba, 
  which 
  was 
  de- 
  

   scribed 
  by 
  the 
  latter 
  as 
  C. 
  canifrons, 
  was 
  common 
  on 
  Bonaire. 
  

   It 
  will 
  be 
  seen, 
  however, 
  that 
  it 
  is 
  not 
  the 
  same, 
  but 
  an 
  

   allied 
  species. 
  

  

  I 
  am 
  obliged 
  to 
  several 
  residents 
  of 
  Bonaire, 
  above 
  all 
  to 
  

   our 
  kind 
  host 
  Mijnheer 
  van 
  den 
  Brandhof, 
  the 
  Dutch 
  Official 
  

   of 
  Bonaire, 
  to 
  Mijnheer 
  Boye, 
  and 
  Mijnheer 
  Hachett, 
  for 
  

   much 
  assistance 
  durinar 
  our 
  visit 
  to 
  this 
  island.
