In other parts of the island the species was less common, rare in 
fact on the west coast. Mr. Delphine Duchamp of Goyave believes 
the woodpecker had become more abundant about his plantation 
within the last ten years. 
25. EULAMPIS JUGULARIS (Linné). 
Gros-Colibri. Oiseau-Mouche a Gorge Rouge. 
Four adults from the Soufriére June 26th—July 4th, and five adults 
from Ste. Rose July 8th—10th. 
The Gros-Colibri is the commonest hummer on the island. It 
seems to prefer the higher altitudes. About the coffee plantations 
of Ste. Claude where the banana flowers were a further attraction this 
. Red-throated Hummer is abundant. It likes to bask in the morning 
sun and often selects a roadside twig for a perch. The small boys 
set out straws smeared with gum on these perches and catch the bird 
as it alights. Like all of the island hummers this one is easily excited 
and comes readily to the “squeak.” It then utters at short intervals 
a clear “seep.” 
On July 18th near Cluny I found a nest with its compliment of two 
eggs. The nest was larger than one of the Ruby-throat’s (Archilochus 
colubris) but it was about the same in structure. The eggs were 
chalky white. 
26. SERICOTES HOLOSERICEUS HOLOSERICEUS (Linné). 
Colibri Bleu. Oiseau-Mouche Bleu. 
Two adult males from Ste. Claude July 2nd and Goyave August 30th. 
The Green-throated Hummer is the rarest of the three species of 
Colibri found in Guadeloupe. I observed it in the uplands associated 
with Eulampis jugularis, but never in the lowlands. 
( 27. ORTHORHYNCUS EXILIS EXILIS (Gmelin). 
Fou-Fou. Oiseau-Mouche huppé. 
One pair of adults from the Soufriére, June 26th and 29th, and one 
adult male from Ste. Rose July 12th.
