6o MEMOIRS OF THE XUTTALL ORNITHOLOGICAL CLUB 



They abound especially about Matanzas and Manzanillo, at Belig near 

 Cabo Cruz, in Cienfuegos harbor and along the south coast of Camaguey 

 from Jucaro to Casilda, the port of Trinidad. I often have heard of the 

 Gulls' making the Pelican disgorge by flapping their wings about its head 

 and then flying off with the fish, only to lose it in turn to that brigand of 

 the sky, the Man-o'-War Bird. This, however, I never have seen. 



84. Phaetusa chloropoda (Vieillot). 



There is a single Cuban record, based on an immature individual got 

 by Charles T. Ramsden from Nipe Bay, May 28, 1909 (Auk, vol. 29, 

 p. 100, 1913)- 



85. Sterna maxima maxima Boddaert. 

 Royal Tern; Gaviota.' 



Royal Terns are often seen about the coasts and are said by Gundlach 

 to nest upon some of the coastal cays. 



86. Sterna sandvicensis acuflavida Cabot. 



Cabot's Tern. 



While this Tern is often seen about the few scanty beaches of the 

 cays and coasts, its nests or eggs never have been found in Cuba. 



87. Sterna antillarum antillarum (Lesson). 



Least Tern. 



Common about salt-marshes and beaches, especially about the islands 

 of the north-central coast. It is known to breed. 



' All Terns are generally called by this name, and, as with our country and fisher folk, the various 

 species are not differentiated.
