CLARK: LESSER ANTILLEAN BIRDS. 
293 
Normal form morrisi Clark.— This bird is very rare on Grenada. 
Ober says that it “is not found in great numbers, as in some of the 
northern islands [? Grenadines]; indeed I have seen it but twice — 
on the mangrove Hats of Point Saline.” This is inserted under the 
heading “ C. atrata ,” but must refer to the Grenada Yellow-breast, 
as no black species occurs on any of the “northern islands” (either 
Grenadines or northern Lesser Antilles), and the black form of this 
bird is abundant all over Grenada. 
While I was staying at St. George’s, Grenada, Mr. Charles Vernet 
very kindly presented me with a specimen of this form which he 
had taken himself in the vicinity of Point Saline. He told me it 
was the only one he had ever seen. The bird is indistinguishable 
from Grenadine examples, and, except in color, from a series of the 
black form from Grenada. 
On the Grenadines, this bird is abundant, and is the most charac¬ 
teristic feature of the avifauna. In habits it exactly resembles the 
black variety of Grenada. 
The nest and eggs are like those of C. atrata of St. Vincent, but 
the eggs are slightly smaller. The nests are sometimes placed in 
queer situations ; there is one in the chandelier of the church at 
Hillsborough, Carriacou, and Mr. Wells saw one which was built in 
a tethering chain hung up for sale in a shop in the same town. 
The usual situation is a low bush, but I have seen one constructed 
at least twenty feet from the ground in a large tree. In the vicinity 
of cotton fields, the cotton lint is largely used in the building of the 
nests. 
2. Melanistic form wellsi Cory. Black See-see. — This form 
is abundant all over Grenada, except in the high woods. It is con¬ 
fined to that island and is never found in the Grenadines. 
The nest and eggs are identical with those of the preceding form. 
Coereba luteola (Cab.). South American Honey-creeper. 
—- This bird is accidental on Grenada. A specimen was obtained 
about the year 1886, and described by Mr. Cory (’89, p. 219) as 
Gerthiola godmani. 
Compsothlypis americana (Linn.). Parula Warbler.— 
Col. Feilden writes that Mr. Herbert Hart of Fairfield, St. Philip’s, 
Barbados, gave him a mounted specimen of the Parula Warbler 
which he had shot in his garden in the month of June. He himself 
recognized one in a garden at Hastings on November 4, 1888, and 
subsequently met with others in different parts of the island.
