ZOOLOGICAL GEOGRAPHY. 
[part hi. 
Greater Antilles. They are beautifully-coloured birds, — green 
above, red and white beneath, and are exceedingly active in their 
movements. To the right are a pair of small humming-birds 
(, Sporadinus ricordi ), not very remarkable in this beautiful 
family, but introduced here because they belong to a genus which 
is confined to the Greater Antilles. 
Table of distribution of West- Indian Birds . — As the birds of 
the West- Indian islands are particularly interesting and their 
peculiarities comparatively little known, we give here a table 
of the genera of land-birds, compiled from all available sources of 
information. Owing to the numerous independent observations 
on which it is founded, the discrepancies of nomenclature, and 
uncertainty in some cases as to the locality of species, it can 
only be looked upon as an approximative summary of the 
existing materials on Antillean ornithology. 
TABLE OF THE RESIDENT LAND- BIRDS OF THE ANTILLES. 
Note. — Genera confined to the West Indies are in Italics. An (a) after (1) indicates a 
species common to two islands : but where there are two or more species in an island, or 
the localities are doubtful, this indication cannot be given. All species not otherwise 
noted are peculiar to the Antilles.
