70 DR. P. L. SCLATER ON BIRDS FROM JAMAICA. [Feb. 20, 



form, which Mr. Osburn has designated in his MS. " OUve Chat- 

 terer," I propose to dedicate to its discoverer by the name Laletes 

 osburni. . 



Besides this, Mr. Osburn's series embraces examples of six other 

 species not noticed by Mr. Gosse in his admirable work on the birds 

 of the island ; and Mr. Osburn may therefore be fairly considered to 

 have added the following eight species to the Jamaican avi-fauna : — 



1. Henicocichla htcloviciana. 



2. Dendrceca palmarum. 



3. Laletes osburni. 



4. Nesopsar nigerrimus. 



5. Siphonorhis americanus. 



6. Tringa bonapartii. 



7. Herodias egretta. 



8. Nycticorax violaceus. 



1. TuRDUS jAMAiCENSis, Gm. : Gosse, B. Jam. p. 142, et 111. 

 pi. 24. 



2. TuRDUS AURANTius, Gm. — Merula leucogemjs,Go?.^e,^.3&m. 

 p. 136, etlll.no. 23. 



3. Henicocichla LUDOViciANA(Aud.). — Seiurus ludoviciatms, 

 Baird. 



Two ex., from Freeman's Hall, Trelawny (5th Sept. 1859). 



This species is not mentioned by Gosse ; but I have examples from 

 Jamaica in my own collection from a different source. Mr. Osburn 

 has marked it "Seiurus noveboracensis." 



4. Henicocichla noveboracensis, Gm. : Gosse, p. 151. 

 One ex. from Savannah la Mar, "Westmoreland, 28th Aug. 1858. 



Seiurus gossii, Bp. Consp. p. 306, is founded upon the^ Jamaican 

 bird, but it does not appear to me different from the continental H. 

 noveboracensis. 



5. Henicocichla auricapilla (Lin.). — Seiurus auricapillus, 

 Gosse, p. 152. 



One ex., from Long Hall (March 1 1th). 



6. Parula AMERICANA (Linn.) : Gosse, p. 154. 

 Two ex., from Mahogany Hall. 



7. Geothlypis trichas (Linn.) : Gosse, p. 148. 

 Three ex., from different localities. 



8. Mniotilta varia (Linn.) : Gosse, p. 134. 

 One ex.. Freeman's Hall (January). 



9. Dendrceca canadensis (Linn.) : Gosse, p. 160. 

 Several examples in full male plumage.
