DENDROICA VITELLINA VITELLINA Cory. 
Ten specimens, both sexes, all adult, Grand Cayman, April and May. 
This fine island form confined to Grand Cayman, was in Brown’s 
experience a very uncommon bird and he told me that it was with 
difficulty that he got even the ten noted above.

DENDROICA VITELLINA CRAWFORD! Nicoll. 
Thirty-seven specimens, both sexes, adults and young, Little Cay- 
man and Cayman Brac, June and July. 
This is a well-marked subspecies whose characters were accurately 
noted by Nicoll, (Bull. B. O. C., 1904, 14, p. 95) who also figured it 
(Ibis, 1904, ser. 8, 4, pl. 11, f. 1). 
It is an abundant bird in the two smaller islands, and is quite the 
same in both. 
COEREBIDAE. 
* COEREBA SHARPEI (Cory). 
Twenty-eight specimens, both sexes, all adult, Grand Cayman, 
Little Cayman, and Cayman Brac, April, May, June, and July. 
Brown’s specimens from Grand Cayman are unfortunately not 
comparable with his series from Little Cayman and Cayman Brac, 
and I am unable to say whether the differences shown by birds from 
the two smaller islands, when compared with examples from Grand 
Cayman, are seasonal or not. I am inclined, howeyer, to regard these 
differences as only seasonal. The Grand Cayman birds, all taken in 
April and May, were in worn and somewhat faded breeding plumage, 
while those from Little Cayman and Cayman Brac, taken in late 
June and July, had completed or were just completing the post- 
nuptial moult, and were therefore all in what might be called fresh 
autumnal plumage. The upper parts in the Grand Cayman specimens 
are dull brownish black; the yellow of the under parts is pale and dull. 
The upper parts in the Little Cayman and Cayman Brac skins are 
grayish black with a slight olivaceous cast; the yellow of the under 
parts is richer and rather more orange. Brown noted that the “skin 
at corners of mouth, red” in the Grand Cayman bird; “skin at corners 
of mouth, flesh-color” in Little Cayman and Cayman Brac specimens. 
This possibly also has to do with the breeding season.
