112 MEMOIRS OF THE NUTTALL ORNITHOLOGICAL CLUB 



215. Callichelidon cyaneoviridis (Bryant). 

 Bahama Swallow. 



The first Cuban record was when Forbes, shooting at Nipe Bay, for 

 the Museum of Comparative Zoology, icilled two Bahama Swallows on 

 March 8, 1914. The species was reported to be abundant at that time. 

 It had never previously been taken outside the Bahama Islands. As I 

 have pointed out under the Cuban Mockingbird, it looks as if there were 

 a little Bahaman colony settled on the Cuban coast at this point. 



216. Mniotilta varia (Linne). 

 Black-and-white Creeper.' 



Common in woods and thickets. A few arrive in August, and by 

 September they are very abundant, especially in the overgrown jungles 

 about the Cienaga. 



217. Limnothlypis swainsonii (Audubon). 

 Swainson's Warbler. 



Gundlach records one Swainson's Warbler from Cojimar, and recently 

 (January 18, 1914) Ramsden has collected a male near Guantanamo 

 (Auk, vol. 31, p. 253, 1914). 



' All of the various Warblers and sometimes other small birds as well are called by the general term 

 of Bijirita.
