Troglodytes musicus (Lawr.). Wall-bird; St. Vincent 
Wren. — Ober records this bird as common at the time of his visit. 
It appears to be rare at present; I only met with it three times: 
once on the border of the high woods behind Peter’s Hope, once in 
Revelation valley, and once (heard singing) in the Botanic gardens, 
Kingstown. 
The song is loud and clear, *of live or six whistling notes. It also 
has a peculiar mellow chatter, something like that of Euphonia 
flcwifrons but louder. 
The nest, I was told, is constructed in holes in old walls or trees. 
I examined one in a large cabbage palm on Fort Charlotte Hill 
where the people said the birds had bred in former years. 
Troglodytes grenadensis (Lawr.). God-bird; Grenada 
Wren. — This species is common all over Grenada. In habits it 
resembles others of the genus. The song is like that of T. musi¬ 
cus of St. Vincent. 
The nest is constructed in holes and recesses, of fine dry roots, 
etc., lined with feathers. The eggs are four, sometimes five, dirty 
white, thickly sprinkled with light reddish brown specks, and resem¬ 
ble those of T. aeclon. 
Cinchlerminia sanctae-luciae (Scl.). St. Lucia Mountain 
Thrush. — Ober writes : “Have heard the unmistakable whistle of 
this bird [ C. dominicensis , which he observed on Dominica] and 
have seen it as it flitted by in the dusk of the high woods, but have 
not obtained it.” I found no trace of it on St. Vincent, nor were 
any of the natives acquainted with it. 
Merula gymnophthalma (Cab.). Yam-bird; Yellow-eyed 
Grieve. — On St. Vincent this bird is confined to the immediate 
vicinity of Kingstown and about Edinboro’, where it is fairly com¬ 
mon, especially in the Botanic gardens. 
On the Grenadines it occurs on the northern end of Bequia, on 
Canouan, on Union Island (about Clifton), on Petit Martinique, 
along the high central ridge of Carriacou and in the lowlands at its 
southern end, and on Isle Ronde, but is nowhere common on these 
islands. It is common all over Grenada. 
In habits the Yellow-eyed Grieve resembles the American Robin 
( Merula migratoria) , but is much more shy and secretive. It is 
usually to be found in the interior of trees having thick, dark 
foliage, such as the mango ( Mangifera indica ), but sometimes,
