The Caribbees refer to the Lesser Antilles. This Ober's first book
From 1876 to 1878 he made ornithological surveys to the Lesser Antilles where he discovered 22 bird taxa new to science. Two of them - the Lesser Antillean Flycatcher and the Montserrat Oriole - were named in his honor by his colleague George Newbold Lawrence.
