The town is decidedly the least interesting place 
that we have thus far seen. The houses and other buildings 
are small and of a commonplace style of architecture, but 
the English Cathedral is rather attractive, especially within. 
The interior is finished with hard pine (from Georgia) oiled. 
There is a wonderfully beautiful view of the town and harbor 
from the front of this cathedral. There are no gardens 
or parks of any especial interest and but few shade trees. 
I saw a very few Euethia bicolor , a pair of Tyrannus dornin- 
icensis , a Sparrow Hawk (sp?) and great numbers of 
Coereba bartholemica . The latter indeed were the charac¬ 
teristic town birds and for the first time very greatly 
outnumbered the Grass Quits. I was not a little surprised 
to find that the zee- e-e note which I have heard on all the 
other islands but which previous to this morning I have 
attributed to Euethia is really uttered by Coereba . It 
has been simply another case of the "pig note" of our 
New England Rails, for the Euethia and Coereba have been 
everywhere together and without any real proof I have been 
mislead by usually finding a Euethia where I heard the note. 
To-day, however, I saw a Coereba make this sound while I 
was standing directly beneath him, thus settling the matter. 
Save the zee- ing and an occasional low chirp from 
Euethia I heard no bird voices and there were no insect 
sounds. Nor did I see any insects save a few house flies 
and two very small mosquitos.
