on the Birds of St. Croix. 
of which we trust we may yet obtain specimens, though we 
have never met with any person in the island who was cognizant 
of a Pigeon in which green was the prevailing colour. Gmelin*s 
C. sancti-thomce is by Mr. G. R. Gray (List of Columbse, B. M. 
(1856), p. 13) referred, but with doubt, to Treron phcenicoptera, 
Blyth, a Nepalese species, with which the bird from St. Thomas 
is hardly likely to prove identical. 
M. Ledru says that MM. Baudin and Mauge brought from 
St. Thomas “le cou-jaune,— Matacilla [s«c] pensilis , Gm., 960, 
qui ressemble un peu a la linotte,— fringilla linota ; mais il 
est plus mince et plus jaune.” ! We have before stated that 
we are sure that any person, on the look-out for birds in these 
islands during the winter months, would meet with many more 
of the North American Warblers than occurred to us; we there¬ 
fore see no reason to doubt that this species, whose proper name 
appears to be Dendroeca superciliosa, Baird, may be found in 
either St. Thomas or St. Croix*. 
“ Le pigeon cocotzin, ou petite tourterelle,— columba pas- 
serina, Gm., 787,” is evidently the Chamcepelia trochila (No. 28) 
of this paper, which was only separated by Prince C. L. Bona¬ 
parte in 1854 from the United States* species with which it 
had been previously confounded. 
The next statement of M. Ledru is one to which we can 
scarcely give unqualified assent, even if we felt sure we under¬ 
stood his meaning. He includes in his list, but without naming 
them, “ Cinq colibris et deux oiseaux-mouches d*une autre 
espece (le male et la femelle), dont les couleurs sont moins 
foncees.*’ Now there is certainly found in St. Thomas, besides 
the two Humming-birds Eulampis chlorolcemus and Orthorhyn- 
chus exilis (Nos. 8 and 9) of this paper, which also occur in 
St. Croix, a third species f, of which we have, thanks to the 
exertions of Herr. Raise, a good series of specimens; and 
these apparently differ only in size from examples of Lampornis 
* It occurs in Jamaica, from which islands we possess specimens.—

t “ On May 25th, 1857, I saw in a garden in the town (Charlotte- 
Amalie) of St. Thomas, a largeish Humming-bird, which was nearly white 
beneath, and was therefore probably either a female or young male of this 
species.”—A. N.
