The birds of St. Lucia are principally known from the collections 

 and researches of our Corresponding Member the Rev. J. E. Semper, 

 as recorded in our 'Proceedings'". Mr. Ramasie's collection makes 

 no additions to the list, but supplies an acceptable contribution to 

 the series of West-Lidian specimens in the National Collection, 

 where they will be deposited. 



The species at present known as absolutely restricted to St. Lacia 

 seem to be nine in number. These are : — 



Cichlherminia sanctce-lucice, Scl. 

 Cinclocerthia macrorhyiicha, Scl. 

 Myiadestes sanctce-lucicB, Stejn. 

 Thryothorus mesoleucus, Scl. 

 Dendrceca delicata, Sharpe. 

 Leucopeza semperi, Scl. 

 Icterus luudabilis, Scl. 

 Contopus latirostris (Verr.). 

 Chrysotis versicolor (Miill.). 



Mr. Allen (Bull. Nutt. Orn. CI. v. p. 166) has also separated 

 the LoxigiUa noclis of St. Lucia as a subspecies (sclateri), but the 

 characters relied on do not seem to be constant. 



Fresh comparisons should also be made of Cichlherminia sanctte- 

 lucice, Myiadestes sanctce-lucice, and Dendroeca delicata with 

 specimens from the adjoining islands, as the three species have not 

 yet been very definitely characterized.
