We have already given a list of tlie continental species of tliis genus. The Antillean 

 members of the group are much less known. They appear, however, to be at least four in 

 number, namely : — 



1. M. elisahethce, of Cuba, (Plate XXVIII). 



2. M. solitarius, Baird, Eev. A. B., i. p. 421 ; (Jf. armillatus, auctt. nee Vieilloti) from Jamaica. 



3. M. armillatus, Vieill. Ois. de I'Am. Sept. i. p. 69, t. 42 ; Baird, I. c. p. 422 — supposed to be from Martinique. 



4. M. genibarbis, Sw. Nat. Libr. p. 134, t. 13 ; Baird, I. c. p. 423 — habitat unknown. 



We have only seen specimens of the two first of these species, but it is evident that most 

 of the mountainous islands of the Antilles possess a representative of the genus. ]\lr. Hill 

 has given us some details concerning the Haytian species, in Gosse's Birds of Jamaica (p. 202) ; 

 and also speaks of the occmi-ence of the same form m St. Vincent. We have not yet met with 

 specimens from either of these islands.
