We have already given a list of the continental species of this genus. The Antillean 

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

 number, namely r-r- 



1. 31. elisalethcE, of Cuba, (Plate XXVIII). 



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



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



4. M. genibarhis, 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. Mr. Hill 

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

 and also speaks of the occurrence of the same form in St. Vincent. We have not yet met with 

 specimens from either of these islands.
