40 Mr. C. E. Lister on the Birds of St. Vincent. 
noticed that the birds did not sing their full song, but after 
giving a few notes would stop and give utterance to a harsh 
note which reminded me of the discordant one which occurs 
in the song of the Greenfinch (Ligurinus chloris) . 
5, CATHAROPEZA BISHOPI™. 
Leucopeza bishopi, Lawr. l.c. p. 189. 
This little bird is entirely confined to the high woods. 
In the stomach of one I found a small newt. This species 
may often be observed searching about amongst the stones 
and decayed logs that strew the course of the mountain- 
streams. The iris is hazel. 
6. TuryorHorus Musicus, Lawr. /. c. p. 189. 
I met with this lively little bird in every part of the island 
that I visited. Its song is sweet; and some of its notes re- 
semble the rich notes of the Blackcap (Sylvia atricapilla). 
It is a bold, familiar bird, and frequently builds its nest im the 
verandas of the houses. 
7. CerTHioua atrata, Lawy. /. c. p. 190. 
Local name “ Sugar-bird.”’ 
Found all over the island. These birds often fall into the 
sugar-coppers. Nest domed, with entrance at side. 
8. VIREOSYLVIA CALIDRIS, var. DoMINICANA, Lawr. J. c. 
p. 189. 
Not found in the high woods, but elsewhere pretty com- 
mon. 
9. ProGne pomrinicensis (Gm.); Lawr. J. c. p. 190. 
This bird I have observed all along the Windward coast. 
It is said to breed in the cliffs. I once saw one of these 
birds hawking over a pasture after the manner of our Kestrel 
(Falco tinnunculus, Linn.). 
10. Loxteruia Noctis (Linn.) ; Lawr. /.c. p. 191. 
Local name, ‘‘ Sparrow.” 
Found all over the island. Frequents the arrowroot-drying- 
* This bird cannot be referred to the same genus as Leucopeza semper, 
of St. Lucia, but belongs to a distinct form of Mniotiltide, which Sclater 
proposes to call Catharopeza. See below, p, 73.
