306 



birds of Cuba, compiled from two lists furnished by Dr. 

 John Gundlach, of Havana. 



One of these, bearing date of October, 1855, contained 

 a list of all that had been observed up to that time, 

 whether visitants or residents ; the other, written in Feb- 

 ruary, 1860, gives only the birds known to breed in the 

 island. These would probably have been more complete, 

 if the list of 1860 had not been restricted to resident birds, 

 but had also referred to migratory visitants. In a few 

 instances, where the species has been ascertained to be 

 different from Dr. Gundlach's supposition, he has taken 

 the liberty to change the nomenclature. The list com- 

 prises 251 birds.
