Cory on the Birds of Haiti. 
16. Petrochelidon fulva ( Linn .). — A single specimen, taken Febru- 
ary io. At Gonaives several flocks were observed flying about the houses, 
but the next day none were seen and we did not meet with it again dur- 
ing our stay on the island. 
17. Vireo altiloquus barbatulus ( Vieill. ) Cab. — Occasionally met 
with near the coast. 
18. Dulus dominions ( Linn .). — A gregarious species, abundant 
among the mountains, usually in the vicinity of cocoanut trees. The 
food consists of insects and fruit in the season. The sexes are similar. 
19. Euphonia musica ( Gm .). — A single specimen in immature 
plumage taken at Le Coup (Petionville). As I believe the stage of 
plumage to be hitherto undescribed I give it in detail : 
$ juv. Forehead pale orange; top of the head grayish blue; back 
olive-green blotched with dark blue ; rump brownish-orange ; wings and 
tail black, some of the tertiaries and coverts edged with olive-green. 
Underparts olive-green, marked with brownish on the throat; dark 
orange, shaded with greenish, on the belly and crissum. Bill and feet 
black. 
20. Spinclalis multicolor ( Vieill .). — Apparently rare. Two speci- 
mens, taken in March in full breeding plumage. 
21. Phoenicophilus palmarum {Linn.'). — Very abundant" among the 
mountains. At Le Coup it was one of the most common species. None 
were observed at Jacmel on the south side of the mountains, where it 
seemed to be replaced by P. dominicensis. It resembles a Vireo in habits, 
and is very tame and unsuspicious. The note is a short sharp c/iift, 
usually uttered when in the act of taking flight. The food consists of 
fruit and insects of various species. The sexes are similar. 
22. Phoenicophilus dominicensis, Cory. (See antea , p. 129.) — 
Several specimens taken, all on the south coast, in the vicinity of Jacmel. 
None were observed elsewhere. 
23. Loxigilla violacea {Linn.). — An abundant resident species 
although not often seen, on account of its retiring habits and the localities 
which it frequents being in many cases inaccessible. 
24. Phonipara bicolcr {Linn.). — Resident and common. 
25. Phonipara olivacea {Gm.). — A rather common resident. Its 
note is a continuous trill, very soft and sweet. It also “chirps” in a 
manner much resembling P. bicolor. The female differs from the male 
in having the face-markings of a much paler yellow and smaller. The 
stomachs of two specimens dissected contained the remains of insects and 
one or two small berries. 
26. Chrysomitris dominicensis, Bryant. — Several specimens taken 
in the mountains near Petionville. 
27. Icterus dominicensis {Linn.). — A resident species, very abun- 
dant in the interior. They are gregarious, and during the months of 
February and March flocks of from ten to fifty individuals were seen 
every day at Petionville flying about among the orange-trees. The sexes 
are alike. Immature specimens have the throat blackish, head and back 
pale brown, and underparts greenish-yellow.
