226 PROCEEDINGS: BOSTON SOCIETY NATURAL HISTORY. 
Soufri&re in the northern part of the island, being a continuation of 
the Montserrat-St. Lucia district, while the lowlands, especially the 
Kingstown valley in the southern part of the island, belong faunally 
to Grenada and the Grenadines. 1 
Certain other species not mentioned above are worthy of passing 
notice. Progne dominicensis and Tiaris bicolor omissa , as would 
be expected, occur in all favorable localities; Vireo calidris barba- 
dense , Eaphonia flamfrons viscivora , and Tyrannus dominicensis 
rostratus (the second the southern form of a Lesser Antillean 
species, and the others chiefly Lesser Antillean forms of West 
Indian species) occur in these islands, the second on St. Vincent 
and Grenada only, the others everywhere. The Lesser Antillean 
“Kili Hawk” ( Falco sparverius caribbearum) does not occur 
between St. Lucia and Grenada, although found on both these 
islands. The mangrove cuckoos of Grenada and the Grenadines 
appear to be true Coccyzus minor minor ; but a deeper-colored, 
large-billed form (( 7 . m. vincentis) occurs on St. Vincent (and St. 
Lucia also). Puteo antillarnm , a rather wide ranging species, is 
found on St. Vincent, Bequia (Grenadines), and Grenada, and the 
Lesser Antillean Owl (Strix nigrescens) otherwise known only from 
Dominica, also occurs on these three islands. A yellow warbler 
(Dendroica ruficapilla ) occurs on Grenada, Carriacou, Union 
Island, and Prune (Grenadines), which is also known from Cozu¬ 
mel Island (Yucatan), St. Andrew’s Island, Curasao, Dominica, and 
Guadeloupe. 
Two species are resident in the Grenadines which are not found 
elsewhere in the Lesser Antilles : the Ruddy Duck (Erismatura 
jamaicensis ) and the Blue-winged Teal (Querquedula discors). 
The Whistling Duck (. Dendrocygna discolor ), not otherwise known 
from the Lesser Antilles : is casual as far as St. Vincent, and pos¬ 
sibly breeds on Barbados. 
The sea birds of these islands offer no peculiarities in their dis¬ 
tribution. 
The most noticeable features in connection with the avifauna of 
Barbados are the small number of resident land birds, and the 
almost entire absence of sea birds, of which but one species ( Puffi- 
1 Iloloquiscalus dispar, confined to this region, forms an exception as it 
takes the place of H. luminosus of the Grenadines and Grenada.
