glancing song, reminding me of that of the English Robin 
but with a gushing trill almost exactly like our House 
Wren's. We heard it frequently. 
Quiscalus inflexirostris resembles our Quiscalus 
in flight and general appearance but its voice is even 
harsher and more cracked. 
Euphonia interested me exceedingly. I saw three 
or four of the beautiful little creatures. In attitudes, 
flight, and general appearance they seemed to me to be 
typical Finches, reminding me most of our Indigo Bird. 
They are easily called by "screeping 11 . 
Curiously enough I have a correction of a correc¬ 
tion to make regarding the zee ing notes which I attributed 
first to Ernethia and afterwards to Coereba . It is made by 
both, as I ascertained beyond question to-day. After 
watching each species carefully and comparing their notes 
I fa.iled to detect any difference whatever and Chapman 
tells me that he has just had the same experience at 
Dominica. 
The Thryothorus was the only real song bird that 
we heard in this garden. It has a very musical song con¬ 
sisting of several bright, glancing notes ending in a rich 
trill almost exactly like that of our House Wren. Chapman 
has a theory that it is a Troglodytes and not a Thryothorus 
at all. It looks, however, much like our Thryothorus
