THE LIST OF HISPANIOLAN BIRDS 



From our collections we have described two new forms, the 

 lie a Vache tanager {Phaenicophilus poliocephalus tetraopes) and the 

 Beata warbler {Microligea palustris vasta). In addition our records 

 include the first report of the wliite-rumped sandpiper. These 

 increase the known bird list for Hispaniola and its island dependencies 

 to 222 forms, including the Hudsonian godwit collected by Ciferri in 

 the Dominican Kepublic.^ 



ACKNOWLEDGMENTS 



The success of our work has been due in large measure to friendly 

 assistance that we received in many quarters. The American 

 minister, Dr. Dana G. Munro, was most courteous and considerate, 

 and with members of his staff gave freely of time and information. 

 On our arrival in Port-au-Prince we were met by a representative of 

 Captain Davis, captain of the port, who had arranged to pass our 

 equipment through customs. Col. R. M. Cutts, in command of 

 the Marine forces, was personally interested in our investigations, 

 assisting through means that otherwise would not have been available. 

 Through Colonel Cutts, and Maj. J. E. Davis, in charge of the Marine 

 Corps Air Service, an aerial reconnaissance of the La Hotte region 

 was possible, a journey that was accomplished with Sergt. R. A. 

 Trevelyan as pilot. 



Through Dr. Munro we met the President of Haiti, M. Stenio 

 Vincent. By direction of General WilHams, in command of the 

 Garde d'Haiti, and his assistant Maj. O. P. Smith, we obtained 

 necessary permits for our firearms, and to other friends in that 

 service we are indebted for many courtesies. We desire to mention 

 particularly assistance received from Lieut. Charles Klein of Aux 

 Cayes in arrangements for our trip to lie a Vache.
