BIRDS OF HAITI AND SAN DOMINGO. 



The present species differs decidedly from Himmdo euc/irysea, 

 from Jamaica, that species having the upper parts bright golden 

 green, and lacking the blue on the forehead entirely. The San 

 Domingo bird is also larger, and the bill apparently somewhat more 

 slender. 



Dr. Bryant mentions the present bird in his list as H. euchrysea 

 war. dominicensis ?), stating that on account of its smaller bill it 

 might be a variety; but he gives no description by which it could 

 be identified. 



This species was quite abundant in the vicinity of La Vega, 

 San Domingo, during July and August; none were taken elsewhere, 

 although a small flock of swallows were observed a few miles east 

 of Gonaives, which I believe were the present species.
