 viously been recorded from the island.

 it has not previously been taken here.

i specimen taken, others seen. Mr. Hartert (Ibis, 1893, p. 309) 

 states that his specimens agree with 5. hirundo but "are smaller 

 and the bill somewhat less pointed." In the specimen before me 

 the difference, if any, is very slight.
