On the Birds of Blanquilla Island, Venezuela, re 
DESCRIPTION OF PLATE II. 
The accompanying map (Plate IT.) shews all the places mentioned by

and vary according to the spot at which he shot the bird, and 
do not exactly represent the altitude of the town or village near 
which the bird was obtained. The following is an itinerary based
