BIRDS OF CUBA 6l 



88. Sterna dougalli dougalli Montagu. 

 Roseate Tern. 



A rather rare bird about the coasts. Gundlach believed that it occurred 

 principally, if not wholly, off the south coast. It occurs sparingly on both 

 sides of the Island. It is not known to breed. 



89. Sterna anaetheta melanoptera Swainson. 

 Bridled Tern. 



Gundlach reported a large breeding colony at Cayo Mono Grande. 

 I have not found the bird breeding, although I often have seen Bridled 

 Terns off the coast. 



90. Sterna fuscata fuscata Linne. 

 Sooty Tern; Gaviota Monja. 



Gundlach gives a long account of the methods of feeding of this and 

 other Gulls and Terns, and of their nesting at Cayo Mono Grande and 

 Cayo Piedras near Cardenas. 



91. Gelochelidon nilotica aranea (Wilson). 

 Gull-billed Tern. 



A very rare bird. Gundlach records but two specimens, one taken at 

 Jucaro and one at Guantanamo.
