Mr. P. R. Lowe on Birds collected 
VlREOSYLYA CAYMANENSIS Cory. 
Vireo caymanensis Cory, Auk, iv. p. 7 (1887). 
Three males and one female. 
When compared with V. magister these birds differ in 
being paler green above and yellowish white instead of 
cchreous white below. 
Vireo crassirostris alleni. 
Vireo alleni Cory, Auk, iii. pp. 500, 501 (1886). 
Vireo crassirostris alleni Cory, Cat. W.l. Birds, pp. 116, 
153 (1892). 
One male and one female. 
The nearest ally of this large-billed Vireo is V. crassi¬ 
rostris of the Western Bahamas, from which it hardly differs. 
The song of this bird is very similar to that of V. novce- 
boracensis; so similar in fact that I shot these two individuals 
under the impression that they belonged to that species, and 
did not discover my mistake until getting back to the 
yacht. Otherwise I might have obtained several other 
specimens. 
Dendrceca petechia (auricapilla ?). 
Dendroica petechia auricapilla Ridgw. Birds North & Mid. 
Amer. part ii. p. 517. 
Dendroica aurocapilla Cory, Auk, vi. p. 31 (1889). 
Six adult males and one adult female. 
The Grand Cayman bird has been separated from D. 
petechia of Jamaica on the ground that it has decidedly 
shorter wing and larger bill and feet.” 
The measurements of four males which I shot in January 
1904 are as follows :—
