"The specimen here described was procured in the mountains of Trelawny and St. Anne's by Mr. White, proprietor of the Oxford estate." No specimen now known. Habitat: Jamaica. Mr. Gosse also relates that the Rev. Mr. Coward, in 1842, saw two large Macaws flying near the foot of the mountains in the parish of St. James, near the centre of the island. These birds were said to have been blue and yellow; if so, probably they were my _Ara erythrura_, whose precise island home is unknown. ARA MARTINICUS (ROTHSCH.) (PLATE 14.) _Les Aras_ Père Bouton, Rel. de l'étab. d. Français dep. 1635, en l'ile Martinique pp. 71. 72 (1640). _Anadorhynchus martinicus_ Rothsch. Bull. B.O.C. XVI, p. 14 (1905); Proc. IV Orn. Congr., p. 202 (1907). Père Bouton says, "Les Aras sont deux ou trois fois gros comme les Perroquets et ont un plumage bien différent en couleur. Ceux que j'ai vus avaient les plumes leleucs et orangées." No specimen preserved. Habitat: Martinique. {54} ARA GUADALOUPENSIS CLARK. _Les Arras_ Du Tertre, Hist. gen. des Antilles Vol. II p. 248 (1667). _Ara Rouge_ D'Aubenton, Pl. Enl. 12 (1779). _Ara guadaloupensis_ Clark, Auk, XXII, p. 272 (1905). Du Tertre gives the following description:--"The Arras is a sort of Parrot bigger than all the others. This is proved because those of Guadaloupe are larger than all the other Parrots, both those from the Islands as well as from the Mainland; while this Arras is larger than these by one third. It has the head, the neck, the belly and the back of the colour of fire; its wings are a mixture of yellow azure, and crimson feathers; while the tail is entirely red and a foot-and-a-half long." Macaws of this colouration are mentioned by Du Tertre, De Rochefort, and others of the older authors as being found on Guadaloupe, Dominica and Martinique, and Mr. Clark has united them under one name. This I feel sure is wrong, and I believe each of the three islands had a distinct species of Red Macaw, so I confine this name to the Guadaloupe form. Habitat: Guadaloupe. No specimen existing. ARA ERYTHRURA NOM. NOV. (PLATE 15.) De Rochefort, Histoire Nat. & Mor. des Iles Antilles, &c. (1658), p. 154, Art. IX (Des Arras). _Anadorhynchus coeruleus_ (non Gmelin) Rothsch., Bull. B.O.C., XVI, p. 15 (1905). In the Bull. B.O.C. XVI, p. 15 (1905), I unfortunately described this bird under the name of _Anadorhynchus coeruleus_ (Gm.), having misread his description, and also said it came from Jamaica. Professor Salvadori, in the Ibis (1906) Series 8, Vol. VI, "Notes on Parrots," p. 451, calls attention to my double error, but failed entirely to realise what bird I really meant. The original description is (translated) as follows:--
