nique (Oberholsen, Nicoli). Sta. Lucia (Semper, Nicoli, 

 S. Branch in Mus. Tring). PBarbadoes (Briggs etWedder- 

 burn in Mus. Brit. ; Nicoli). 



Specimens from Dominica as a rule seem to be somewhat 

 paler on the upper parts with the dark centres of the feathers 

 contrasting more with the paler edges than in specimens from 

 Guadeloupe, Sta. Lucia and Martinique (?) ; but there is no 

 constancy in this respect. 



Not having examined specimens from Barbadoes, I follow 

 Mr. Nicoli, as the latest authority on the subject, in placing 

 E. barbadensis among the synonyms of E. martinica, though 

 with a query. I have not been able to examine specimens 

 from St. Kitts, Antigua and Montserrat.
