IIO BIRDS OF HAITI AND SAN DOMINGO. 



The adult female differs from the male in wanting the red 

 band on the head. 



Length 5.10; wing 2.75; tail 1.85; tarsus .70; bill .62. 



The present species is abundant in some localities of the 

 interior. It is common near Samana, and several specimens were 

 taken near Le Coup. We generally observed it climbing about 

 the trunks of trees in search of its food. The note is short and 

 sharp, generally uttered while flying. The nest is built in a hole 

 in the trunk of a tree. The eggs were not taken.
