DescrIPTIONS OF SEVEN NEw SPECIES OF BirDs FROM 
THE ISLAND OF ST. VINCENT, WEST INDIES. 
WHEN Mr. Ober had completed his investigations in Dominica he 
proceeded to St. Vincent ; but unfortunately, while there, he had two 
attacks of fever, one catlys in October, from which he soon recovered, 
but in December he had a relapse ; by this he was completely pros- 
trated, and it was not until the end of January that he was convales- 
cent. 
There were also constant rains, and consequently his collecting was 
seriously interfered with. He thinks, however, that the specimens 
obtained, and the birds observed, complete quite thoroughly the avi- 
fauna of the island. 
He left for the island of Grenada about the Ist of March, at 
which time he forwarded to the Smithsonian the collection made in 
St. Vincent. There are only ninety specimens, representing thirty- 
five species ; seven of these I consider new to science, and their 
descriptions are given below, Besides the species sent, he enumer- 
ates twenty-four others, which he either saw, or had named to him 
as undoubtedly frequenting the island: making the total number 
fifty-nine. 
12. Turdus nigrirostris. 
FEMALE. Front, crown, and occiput dark warm brown, each 
feather of the crown and occiput with a shaft-stripe of dull pale rufous ; 
upper plumage reddish olivaceous brown, deeper in color on the 
upper part of the back and on the wing-coverts ; the latter have 
their ends marked with small spots of bright rufous, which possibly 
may be an evidence of the example not being fully mature ; the tail 
is of a dark warm brown, the shafts black ; inner webs of quills black- 
ish-brown ; the outer webs reddish-brown,-of the same color as the 
tail-feathers ; the shafts are glossy-black; under lining of wings 
clear cinnamon red; under plumage light brownish ash, with the 
middle of the abdomen and the crissum white ; on the upper part of 
the breast a few feathers end with dark reddish-brown, forming an 
irregular narrow band ; the throat unfortunately is soiled with blood, 
but as well as I can judge, it has stripes colored like the breast, and the 
feathers edged with whitish ; the thighs are dull fulvous ; the bill is .
