OCT., 1909. BIRDS OF THE LEEWARD ISLANDS CORY. 195 



Sterna dougalli Montag. 



Mr. Hartert states that he found this species breeding on the coral 

 reef on the coast of Aruba (Ibis, 1893, p. 310). Judging from the 

 color of the bill and feet, as Mr. Hartert suggests, these birds may be 

 S. d. gracilis Cory. It was not taken by Mr. Ferry. 



Sterna antillarum (Less.}. 



3 specimens taken; common. Mr. Hartert found it breeding 

 and saw young birds in July. 



Sterna fuliginosa Gmel. 



i specimen, an adult male, taken early in May. 



Sterna anaethetus Scop. 



Mr. Ferry did not procure this species, but Mr. Hartert found it 

 breeding in some numbers on Aruba the latter part of June. 



Family Phalacrocoracidse. 



Phalacrocorax vigua (Vieill.}. 



Phalacrorax brasilianus Hartert, NovitatesZoologicae, 1902, p. 308. 



i specimen taken by Mr. Ferry, others seen. Mr. Hartert found 

 it abundant "but difficult to approach." (Ibis, 1893, p. 308.) 



Family Pelecaiiidse. 



Pelecanus occidentals Linn. 



Pelecanus fuscus Hartert, Ibis, 1893, p. 308. 

 i specimen taken; common. 



Family Fregatidse. 



Fregata aquila (Linn.}. 



i specimen taken, an adult male; rather common. 



Family Phoenicopteridse. 



Phoenicopterus ruber Linn. 



According to Hartert (Ibis, 1893, p. 307) a Flamingo was seen 

 and shot by Dr. Cole. As P. ruber is not uncommon on Los Roques 

 and has been recorded from Bonaire, it was probably this species.
