196 THe Wirson BuLLETIN—Nos. 76-77. 
p. m., offering an excellent view with the field glass from the top 
of the mountain (Read ms.). 
Porto Rico.—Specimen (Ridgway). com. resident (Gundlach), 
present (Cory). 
BUTEO PLATYPTERUS INSULICOLA.

mature females, Sept. 7 (2), and Nov. 26, ’03, coll. by H. G. S. 
Branch (Riley). 
BUTEO PLATYPTERUS RIVIEREI. 
Dominica.—Not abund., found by Ober (Lawrence) ; coll. by Mr. 
Ramage (Schlater); (Cory); very com. all over (Clark); com., 
widely distributed and much more tame and unsuspicious than in 
the U. §.; particularly com. in the yicinity of Bass-en-ville; ob- 
served from time of my arrival until departure (Verrill). 
BUTEO PLATYPTERUS ANTILLARUM, 
MARTINIQUE.— (Lawrence) ; found present by W. B. Richardson 
(Cory). 
Sanva LuctA.—(Allen); collected by Mr. Ramage (Selater) ;

BARBADOES.— Ligon’s History shows clearly that when the greater 
part of the island was clothed in natural fortests, a species of Buz- 
zard was indigenous. This may have heen B. latissimus [—platyp- 
terus]. Ligon writes: “The birds of this place (setting two 
aside) are hardly worth the pains of description; yet in order, as 
I did the beasts, I will set-them down. The biggest is a direct 
Bussard, but somewhat less than our grey Bussard in Hngland, 
somewhat swifter of wing; and the only good thing they do is, 
sometimes to kill rats” (Fielden) ; (Cory); locally extinet (Clark). 
St. Vincent.—Everywhere abundant—Ober (Lawrence); found 
all over the island and is very com., breeds (Lister): (Cory) ; 
very com. all over; spring of ‘08 a nest was found in the Botanic 
gardens at Kingston (Clark). 
Brequia.—(Cory) ; it occurs regularly on the northern end—north 
of the Spring estate—where it breeds; Ober gives this bird as oc- 
curring on the Grenadines, but this must be a mistake, as except- 
ing Bequia and Mustique, it is wholly unknown to the natives, nor 
could I find any trace of it (Clark). 
Mustiqur.—Occasionally visits (Clark). 
CANNOUAN.— (Cory). 
Carracou.—(Cory) ; I saw one on Aug. 27, ‘04, near the late John 
Grant Wells’ residence at Hermitage, but as he does not record it 
from that island, it must be a rare straggler there (Clark).
