Eulampis holosericeus, Linn.—I found this bird hard to obtain, and during a fortnight's collecting only took two specimens.
Eulampis jugularis, Linn.—Very partial to the flowers of the "bois immortel" trees, which have been introduced into St. Vincent for shade purposes.
The four following birds, or, as they are locally called, Honey-suckers, may almost be termed the first cousins to the Trochilidæ:—
Cœreba cærulea, Linn.—In the Savana Grande district of Trinidad only.
Cœreba cyanea, Linn.—Very common in Tobago at the flowers of the "bois immortel."
Chlorophanes spiza, Linn.—From Trinidad; collected in Savana Grande, at Moruga.
Certhiola atrata, Linn.—This bird, which is peculiar to St. Vincent, was observed in extraordinary abundance at "immortel" flowers, a dozen on one tree being no rare occurrence.
Aramides cajanea, P.L. Müll.—This waterfowl fell a victim to one of the traps I had set for Water Rats, Nectomys palmipes, baited with Indian corn.
Momotus swainsoni, Scl.—Shot in the high woods near Moruga, Trinidad.
Icterus xanthornus, Gm. "Corn Bird."—I shot one of these in Trinidad, but found it nesting in Tobago, where a colony had their pendulous nests in a large cotton tree.
Trogon meridionalis, Sw.—I obtained a pair of these birds in the Savana Grande district.
Rhamphastos vitellinus, Licht.—I secured one out of a flock, which fluttered down to the ground calling loudly for help, bringing up its companions, whose yells and screams reminded me of the parrot-house at the Zoo.
Nyctibius jamaicensis, Gm. "Poor me One" Bird.—The cry of this large Nightjar used to be attributed to a Sloth which is found in Trinidad (Cholœpus didactylus). It is a long-drawn chromatic whistle, with clear intervals between each note. This bird is far from common.
Pipra auricapilla, Briss. "Louis d'or."—This beautiful little bird was only met with on one occasion near Moruga, Trinidad.
Tanagra sclateri, Berlep.—Mention of this species must not
