I08 MEMOIRS OF THE XfTTALL ORNITHOLOGICAL CLUB 



203. Vireo griseus griseus (Boddaert). 

 A rare straggler, only twice collected by Gundlach. 



204. Lanivireo flavifrons (Vieillot). 

 Yellow-throated Vireo. 



Once killed near Cardenas, by Gundlach, as it passed through on 

 migration. On March 26, 191 5, Brooks shot a female (M. C. Z., no. 67,635) 

 in the Caballos Mountains of the Isle of Pines, the first record for that 

 island. 



205. Lanivireo solitarius solitarius (Wilson). 



Blue-headed Vireo. 



Killed once by Gundlach, on the shore of a lake near Cardenas in 

 March, 1844. 



206. Vireosylva calidris barbatula (Cabanis). 

 Black-whiskered Vireo; Bien-te-veo. 



The little Black-whiskered Vireos arrive each spring in Cuba, the 

 Cayman Islands and the Bahamas, as early sometimes as the end of 

 February, but more often in March. They leave again in late August or 

 early September. They come from the south, but curiously enough the 

 bird is not known to have been taken in Jamaica, where a closely allied form 

 is likewise a summer resident. The English Creole name of 'Whip-tom- 

 kelly' is a fair imitation of the bird's song, which in Spanish appears as 

 'Bien-te-veo,' while a Brazilian ally sounds 'Jao-corta-pao' to the local ear. 



A slender, grayish Vireo with a conspicuous black streak on each side 

 of the head. It is easily identified.
