24. GrorryGon montana (Linn.) ; Lawr. J. c. p. 196. 
Local name “ Padre.” 
This species is confined to the high woods. It feeds on 
the seeds &c. which fall from the trees. It is terrestrial in 
its habits, only perching occasionally on low shrubs, never 
on the lofty ones. It frequently places its nest in a tree 
fern.

Local name, ‘ Bequia Dove.” 
A few of these birds appear to come over from the islands 
of Bequia, Balliceaux, &c. in the month of March, but re- 
main a very short time. They feed, when in St. Vincent, on 
the pigeon-peas. 
26. CHAMPELIA PASSERINA (Linn.); Lawy. /.c. p. 196. 
Local name, “‘ Ground-Dove.” 
Found chiefly near the sea-coast, never in the high woods. 
The negro boys catch great numbers in traps. 
27. URUBITINGA ANTHRACINA (Nitzsch); Lawr. /. c. p. 
194*, 
Local name, ‘‘ Black Hawk.” 
This fine bird is met with chiefly in the high woods, but 
occasionally pays a visit to some quiet stream in the culti- 
vated districts. Its food appears to be crayfish and fresh- 
water crabs. I procured two specimens, viz. an adult female 
and a young male. It may be observed soaring at a great 
height, sometimes in company with two or three Chicken- 
Hawks (Buteo pennsylvannicus). 
28. Burro pENNSYLVANNicUS (Wils.); Lawr. J. c. p. 194. 
Local name, ‘‘ Chicken- Hawk.” 
This species is found all over the island, and is very com- 
mon. It often builds its nest in a bread-fruit tree, and is

ample of this species, which died in 1878 after putting on its adult plu- 
mage. See ‘ List of Animals in the Gardens of the Zoological Society of 
London’ (1879), p. 314. The specimen is now in the Norwich Museum,
