Vireosyhd calidrit ealidris. (Linne). Whij -tom-kelly. John-to-Wit 



This sj ecies is a summer resident in Jamaica, as in the other Antilles where it breeds, 

 arriving in spring and departing in autumn. 



Ampelidae. 



Waxwings.

An irregular straggler to Jamaica from North America. 



HiEUNDINIDAE. 



Swallows. 

 Lamprochelidon euchrysea. (Gosse). Gosse's Swallow; Golden Swallow 



A resident species, peculiar to Jamaica, rathei uncommon, and of local distribution 

 in the mountains. 

 Hirundo rustica erythrogastra. Boddaert. Barn Swallow. 



Probably an occasional migrant in Jamaica, as in other West Indian Islands. The 

 species appears in most of the previous lists, but definite records are not given. 

 Riparia riparia riparia. (Linne). Batik Swallow. 



This species also, is in all probability an occasional migrant to Jamaica. March 

 recoided it as "figured'' by Mr. Hill. 

 Petrochelidon fulva poeciloma. (Gosse). Cave Swallow; Jamaican Cliff 



Swallow. 

 Resident, locally common. It bieeds in large colonies in caves in the cliffs, and much 

 more rarely about buildings. The same subspecies occurs in Porto Rico, although the 

 Cuban form on the one hand, and the Haitian on the other, have been separated by 

 name. 

 Progne cryptoleuca. (Baird). Cuban Martin. 



This Cuban species, has not before been recorded from Jamaica. There is, however, 

 a fine adult male in the collection of the Museum of Compaiative Zoology, taken at 

 Moneague in February, 1865 by the late Dr. Henry Bryant. The species, like the next, 

 is migratory, and a summer resident only in Cuba. 

 Progne dominicensis. (Gmelin). Caribbean Martin. 



The Caribbean Martin breeds throughout the West Indies, except in Cuba, the 

 Isle of Pines and the Bahamas. In Jamaica it is locally common, and a few individuals 

 are said sometimes to remain throughout the winter, usually how ever the Martins 

 arrive in spring and depart again in the autumn. 



Mniotiltidae. 



Wood Warblers. 

 Setophaga ruticilla. (Linne). American Redstart. 



An abundant winter resident in Jamaica occasionally arriving, according to Gosse, 

 so early as August 10. 

 Wilsoma mitrata. (Gmelin). Hooded Warblei. 



Occasional winter visitor, for which however, we find but one definite record. 

 Geothlypis trichas brachidactyla. (Swainson). Northern Yellow -throal:. 



A common winter resident. All Jamaican specimens appear to belong to the nor- 

 thern form that breeds in the north-eastern United States and south-eastern Canada. 

 Seiurus motacilla. (Viei' ot). Louisiana Water-thrush. 



A rather common winter resident. 

 Seiurus noveboracensis noveboracensis. (GmeUn). Water Thrush. 



This bird is said to be an uncommon winter resident. We have seen no Jamaican 

 specimens, and it is possible that SeiMj-Ms noieboracensis notabilis Ridgeway, also occurs 

 in the island as a winter resident since it has been recorded from the Isle of Pines by 

 Todd. 

 Seiurus aurocapillus aurocapillus. (Linne). 0\en Bird. 



Common Winter resident. 

 Dendroica pharetra. (Gosse). Arrow-headed Warbler.
