CHARADRIIDAE. 
CHARADRIUS WILSONIUS Ord. 
Brown noted Wilson’s Plover on several occasions on the beaches, 
where he thought it was breeding. He took no specimens. I include 
it in this list on Brown’s identification in spite of the lack of specimens, 
in order to correct a rather curious error in Lowe’s list where under 
Aegialitis semipalmata Lowe says, “This bird is resident in Jamaica 
and breeds there. Whether it does so in the Caymans I am unaware. 
I have included it among the residents.” No mention is made of 
Wilson’s Plover, and it seems certain that Lowe in some way confused 
that species with the Arctic-breeding Semipalmated Plover. 
{| HypsIBATES MEXICcANuS (Miill.). 
The Black-necked Stilt was breeding in numbers in the mangroves 
in Grand Cayman in May. Brown took several sets of eggs, but did 
not shoot any birds. 
COLUMBIDAE. 
COLUMBA LEUCOCEPHALA Linné. 
Three specimens, two males and a female, all adult, Grand Cayman 
and Cayman Brac, May and June. 
} ZENAIDA ZENAIDA ZENAIDA (Bp.). 
Zenaida spadicea Cory, Auk, 1886, 3, p. 498, Grand Cayman. 
Zenaida richardsonit Cory, Auk, 1887, 4, p. 7, Little Cayman. 
Thirteen specimens, both sexes, all adult, Grand Cayman, Little 
Cayman, and Cayman Brac, May, June, and July. 
I can find no difference in specimens from the various islands of the 
Cayman group, and after a most careful comparison, with adequate 
material, am unable to distinguish in any way Cayman specimens, 
which appear to me to be quite like examples from the Bahamas, Cuba, 
and Jamaica, in the same condition of plumage. 
Judging from Cory’s name and description I fancy he took the 
Grand Cayman Pea Dove to be darker than true zenaida. This 
may have been because he compared Grand Cayman specimens 
killed when in worn summer plumage, with skins from elsewhere in 
autumn or winter dress, there being quite a change with season in
