I have five specimens of this pretty Dove from the Little 
Cayman, where it is common. Unfortunately I have never 
been able to secure any specimens from the Grand Cayman. 
Mr. Cory has, on the strength of one specimen, provisionally 
proposed the name of Z. richardsoni for the Little Cayman 
form ; but, from the description he gives, his specimen is one 
not in fully adult plumage, and I prefer to think that the 
birds from the two islands are identical. This is a good 
species.

Indies, 1899, p. 34. 
I shot five or six of these Ground-Doves, which still appear 
to me to be identical with the birds found in Jamaica. I 
have previously ( f Ibis,’ 1908, p. 107) given my reasons for 
preferring to drop Linnaeus’s specific name of passerina 
for this Dove and for calling it C. jamaicensis Maynard. 
During my last visit to the Grand Cayman I shot a 
Ground-Dove with the base of the bill crimson as in 
C. aflavida of Cuba, which was evidently a straggler from 
this island. I have over a hundred specimens of the 
genus from various islands in the Caribbean Sea in my 
collection, and this was the only occasion in which I have 
found the colour of the bill to vary from that normally 
found in the locality. 
Centurus caymanensis Cory. 
Centurus caymanensis Cory, Auk, iii. pp. 499, 502 (1886). 
I met with this Woodpecker in abundance, but only shot 
two examples. It differs from two specimens that I shot in 
Cuba in lacking the black superciliary mark.

I obtained six specimens of this very handsome Wood-
