hunt on Trou Caiman, where they frequent the reedy patches. We also 

 saw two specimens in the reedy patches of the north shore of Lake 

 Assuai. 



Dendroica petechia albicollis (Gmelin).

Five alcoholic specimens secured during our trip, of the Haitian Golden 

 Warbler, at Port au Prince, and skins of a pair in the United States 

 National Museum from the same place, prove this to be distinct from the 

 Jamaican form Dendroica petechia petechia with which it has been con- 

 sidered identical. It will therefore have to appear under the above des- 

 ignation. 



Its dorsal coloration resembles that of the Jamaican bird, excepting 

 that the crown does not appear as strongly tinged with orange as in the 

 Jamaican form. The Haitian bird also has shorter wings and is longer 

 in bill, tarsus and middle toe, as shown by the following measurements: 



The following forms appear to be new to the island : 



Pied-billed Grebe (Podilymbus podiceps antillarum). 



Least Bittern ( Ixobrychus exilis ) . 



Haitian Yellow Rail ( Porzana flaviventris hendersoni). 



Clapper Rail (Rallus longirostris subsp. ?). 



Semipalmated Sandpiper (Ereunetes pusillus). 



Western Sandpiper (Ereunetes mauri). 



Least Sandpiper (Pisobia minutilla). 



Greater Yellow-legs (Totanus melanoleucus) . 



Lesser Yellow-legs ( Totanus flavipes ) . 



Chimney Swift {Chaetura pelagica). 



Barn Swallow (Hirundo erythrogastra). 



Chestnut-sided Warbler (Dendroica pensylvanica).
