BLACK-SHOULDERED BANANA ORIOLE. 
Yellow Oriole, with the face before the eyes, the throat 
and middle of the breast deep black; wing-coverts deep 
black, tipped with white; secondary quills of the wings 
externally white; the two external quills of the tail on each 
side tipped with dirty white; beak black; the base of the 
upper mandible somewhat striated ; legs blackish. 
Inhabits Jamaica. 
It is readily distinguished from O. mexicanus, by the 
strie at the base of the upper mandible, which in both of 
those examined, were similar; by the colour of the wing- 
coverts, and tips of the tail-feathers. The back and belly 
are of an uniform bright yellow, whilst the upper part in 
the preceding species is olive yellow. The black on the 
face is distinct, being merely placed before the eyes, whilst 
the black of the throat is continued into the breast.
