MEMOIRS OF THE NUTTALL ORNITHOLOGICAL CLUB 



92. Hydrochelidon nigra surinamensis (Gmelin). 

 Black Tern. 



Adults and young have been reported often about both coasts and 

 fresh-water lakes. Gundlach in his account gives no specific date of arrival 

 or departure. 



93. Anous stoUdus stolidus (Linne). 

 Noddy; Gaviota Boba. 



Not generally seen about the coasts until one approaches a breeding- 

 ground, when they fairly swarm. They nest on many bushy cays in the 

 same manner as has been so often described at Dry Tortugas. 



94. Rhynchops nigra nigra (Linnc). 

 Black Skimmer. 



An excessively rare or accidental visitor. There are two records, both 

 by Gundlach, one for the south coast and the other for the Bay of Jvlatanzas. 



95. RecurvJrostra americana Gmelin. 

 AVOCET. 



Another accidental visitor, extremely rare. Gundlach killed one in 

 a salt-pond at Punta de Icacos and got one in the Havana market.
