LOS HERMANOS ISLANDS. 



A group of seven islands situated about ten miles east of Bla'n- 

 quilla and 45 miles north of the northwest point of Margarita Island. 

 The largest is Orquilla, which rises to a height of 650 feet. Vege- 

 tation consists of cacti, agaves, coarse grass and mangroves. Mr. 

 Ferry remained but one day on Orquilla (February 8, 1909) and found 

 land birds confined to a few species, but he writes that sea birds nest 

 there in great numbers, principally Terns and Gannets. These 

 islands had been previously visited by Mr. P. R. Lowe, the results 

 of his investigations being given in his paper, "Notes on some Birds 

 collected during a Cruise in the Caribbean Sea." (Ibis, 1909, p. 323.)
