276 PROCEEDINGS: BOSTON SOCIETY NATURAL HISTORY. 
The nest is very small, constructed of line dry leaves and cotton 
lint, lined with down. The eggs are two, white. 
I have examined a specimen of this species (a male) with the 
crest perfectly white, taken on Grenada. 
Bellona cristata emigrans Lawr. Barbados Crested Hum¬ 
mingbird ; Small Doctor-bird. — This “ Small Doctor-bird ” is 
common all over Barbados, to which island it is confined. The 
nest and eggs resemble those of B. c. cristata. 
Tyrannus dominicensis rostratus (Scl.). Rain-bird ; Pip- 
piree. — On Barbados this bird is an uncommon resident. I have 
seen it in St. Michael’s (nesting), at Hastings near the Marine hotel, 
and obtained it in Foster Hall woods. On St. Vincent this is one 
of the commonest species, and it is abundant on all the Grenadines 
and on Grenada. 
In actions it is much like T. tyrannus ; its notes resemble “ pip- 
piree pipipiree ” uttered sharply. 
The nest resembles that of T. tyrannus , and is usually placed 
rather high. The eggs are three, buff, spotted with lilac and 
brown. 
Tyrannus melancholius satrapa (Licht.). Yellow-breast 
Pippiree. — This bird occurs on Grenada, but is not common. On 
April 20. 1904, I took an adult female of this species at Clifton, 
Union Island. 
Muscivora tyrannus (Linn.). Fork-tailed Flycatcher. 
— This is an annual visitor to Grenada and Carriacou, appearing in 
considerable numbers in August (according to Wells). I did not 
meet with it during: my stay on Carriacou, but I found that the 
people were well acquainted with it. As a rule it frequents open 
ground. On Carriacou it is found about the low-lying pastures, 
particularly about Harvey Vale. On Grenada it is most common on 
the windward coast, about Grenville. It has never been known to 
nest in these islands. 
On Trinidad and Tobago also this species is a migrant, coming 
over from the mainland during the wet season. 
Myiarchus tyrannulus tyrannulus (Mull.). Loggerhead; 
Pippiree Gros Tete. — Mr. Riley (:04a, p. 275) has recently 
described a Myiarchus from St. Vincent and Grenada (the type 
locality being Grenada) under the name of Myiarchus oberi 
nugator. His series consisted of nine specimens : three from
