I cannot speak of this bird from personal observation, as I never 
met with it in the Bahamas. Dr. Bryant, however, found it abun- 
dant from the 1st to the 10th of May, and says, “ In its habits, this 
bird approximates very nearly to the M. varia, climbing round the 
trunks of trees in search of insects apparently with the same facility 
as the latter bird.”
