Mr. P. R. Lowe on Birds collected 
Barbados. 
Leaving Monte Carlo on Nov. lltli, 1907, we arrived at 
Barbados on Dec. 4th and left that island on Dec. 12tli. 
During this and a previous visit I obtained specimens 
of all the resident birds on the island except the Vireo. 
They are so well known that I merely add a note or two on 
one or two forms which seem to call for remark. 
Zenaida atjrita Temm. & Knip. 
T1 lis very handsome Dove is fairly generally distributed 
over the island, but is nowhere very abundant except in 
the hilly “ Scotland ” district. I shot a few examples, and 
it seems to be distinguishable by well-marked differences 
from other forms of this genus found in the Lesser Antilles. 
Chamjspelia antillarum. 
Chamcepelia antillarum Lowe, Bull. B. 0. C. vol. xxi. p. 109 
(1908). 
This Ground-Dove, which is also found on the islands of 
St. Vincent and Grenada, has the base of the bill olive- 
brown, with no trace of either yellow, orange, or crimson, 
except that in some specimens, in the perfectly fresh state, 
there is to be seen tbe thinnest possible line of yello^v along 
the upper edge of the mandible. Its nearest ally is C. ber- 
mudiana Bangs ; but the bill of that bird is almost uniformly 
black, while the edges of the mandibles have a thin line of 
crimson. C. antillarum is also larger and much richer in 
coloration than examples from Bermuda. 
1 have twenty specimens in my collection from the three 
islands. How much further north along the Antillean chain 
this form extends, I have bad no opportunity of discovering.
