Abstract
THE author of this lively and very entertaining book of travel undertook in 1876 the exploration of the Caribbees or Lesser Antilles, which islands extend over eight degrees of latitude between Porto Rico and Trinidad, connecting the Greater Antilles with the continent of South America. The islands had been hitherto little visited by naturalists, and the author made his expedition under the auspices of the Smithsonian Institution, with the especial object of collecting the birds of the group.
