Pam. VIREONIDiP. 
The Vireonidse, or Greenlets, constitute another exclusively American Family 
of Passerine Birds, being perhaps most nearly allied to the Shrikes Laniidse. 
In his new work on North and Middle American Birds Dr. Ridgway recognizes 
about 75 species and subspecies of this family and there are a few more that 
occur beyond his limits. Only three species of this group have been positively 
recognized in Jamaica, though it is probable that others may occur there during 
migration*. One of these three, however, is Laletes osburni a genus and species 
only found in Jamaica.

Only one typical member of this family occurs occasionally in Jamaica, but
