Mr. C. E. Lister on the Birds of St. Vincent. 41 
houses in company with Phonipara bicolor for the purpose of 
feeding on the arrowroot. 
11. Puonreara Bicotor (Linn.) ; Lawr. /.c. p. 191. 
Local name, ‘‘ Grass-bird.”’ 
Found everywhere, except in the high woods. 
12. Tyrannus RostraAtus, Sclater; Lawr. /.c. p. 191. 
Local name, “‘ Loggerhead Piperee.” 
Not found in the high woods, but elsewhere pretty com- 
mon. In the stomach of one I found the seed of a palm; 
their food, however, usually consists of insects. 
13. Myrarcuus opert, Lawy. /. c. p. 191. 
Local name, Piperee.”’ 
The distribution of this bird is similar to that of Tyrannus 
rostratus; but it is perhaps not met with in such great num- 
bers. 
14. Enarnea Martinica (Linn.) ; Lawr. /.c. p. 191. 
Local name, “ Corn-bird.” 
Distribution similar to that of the other species of this 
family. Though this bird is termed “The Corn-bird,” I 
never could detect it feeding on grain. 
15. Coccyzus minor (Gm.); Lawr. J. c. p. 193. 
Local name, “‘ Cuckoo Manioc.” 
I have often heard the note of this bird when entering the 
high woods (and on,one occasion shot one to make sure 
that it was the same species found in the cleared districts), 
but have never seen or heard it in the interior. Its food 
consists largely of the different kinds of Mantis. 
16. CroropHaca ant, Linn.; Lawr. /.c. p. 193. 
Local names, “ Chapman’s bird,” or “ Old Witch.” 
Found throughout the cleared lands, chiefly haunting pas- 
tures, never in the high woods. Said to have been intro- 
duced by a Mr. Chapman some thirty years ago. 
17. CyPpsELOIDES NIGER (Gm.). 
Local name, ‘‘ Day-bat.” 
May be seen flying over the pastures in great numbers after 
rain.
