428 APPENDIX A 



4 Pelecanus fuscus calif ornicus Ridgway 

 Galapagos Brown Pelican 

 One flying low over island. 



6 Fregata sp. 

 Frigatebird 



Two soaring high over the island. 



6 Creagrus furcatus (Neboux) 



Fork-tailed Gull 



Four pairs nesting on cliffs on west side of island. 

 Several nestlings seen. 



7 Blasipus fuliginosus (Gould) 



Lava Gull 



Three walking about on the beach. 



8 Anous stolidus (Linne) 



Noddy Tern 



Several pairs nesting on ledges and others flying about. 



9 Butorides sundevalU Reichenow 



Galapagos Green Heron 



A single individual catching flies near the shore. 



10 Nesopelia g. galapagoensis (Gould) 



Galapagos Dove 



Three pairs on the island, one of which soon flew to 

 Gardner. Collected one of the others in a butterfly 

 net as it walked up within a yard of me. It was a 

 breeding female. One pair kept flying to a consider- 

 able height above the island and then soaring slowly to 

 the ground, — quite an undovelike manoeuvre. 



11 Buteo galapagensis (Gould) 



Galapagos Hawk 



One bird soaring overhead. 



12 Eribates magnirostris (Gray) 



Yellow-bellied Flycatcher 



Two followed me about the island, all but alighting 

 on my shoulder, and showing great interest whenever I 

 turned over a stone in my search for geckos.
