Piranga erythromelas, Scott, Auk, x. p. 180.

Fam. CCEREBID.E. 
The Coerebidse are also a Neotropical Family, of which about 75 species are 
known. Two species only are found in Jamaica, and one of these ( Glossiptila ) 
is of rather uncertain position.

Ccereba, flaveola,, Scott, Auk, x. p. 339. 
Hab. Resident in Jamaica and peculiar, but with slightly differentiated 
representatives in other Islands. A single specimen of Coereba cyanea 
(see Scott, l.s.c .) has been taken in Jamaica, but may have been an 
escaped cage-bird. 
Fam. TURDIDdE. 
The large and widely spread Family of Thrushes has four representatives 
in Jamaica. Two of these belong to the typical group of Turdus, the others 
are members of the purely American subfamily of Mocking-birds ( Mimus ) 
which are referred to the Wrens by some authorities, but in my opinion, are 
better placed in the present family.
