Todd: The Birds of the Isle of Pines. 165 



Laguna de Piedras. — A large lagoon, in character much resembling 

 the Cienaga, situated in the southern portion of the island not far from 

 Pasadita, and visited by Mr. Link on one occasion. 



Laguna Grande. — The exact position of this lagoon, which was 

 visited by Mr. Zappey, is not ascertainable, but it is evidently near 

 Santa Fe, since birds were shot at both places on the same day, 

 April 21. 



La Vega. — A contraction, used by Messrs. Bangs and Zappey, of 

 San Francisco de la Vega, which see. 



Los Almacigos.— An extensive tract lying west of the town of Santa 

 Fe, the name being more particularly applied to the old plantation 

 situated near the center of the tract in question. Referred to by 

 Messrs. Bangs and Zappey merely as " Almacigos." 



Los Indios. — A town-site along the lower course of the river of the 

 same name, in the southwestern i)art of the main island. This locality 

 was very thoroughly worked by Mr. Link, it being his headquarters, 

 from which excursions were made to surrounding sections, during the 

 greater part of his stay in the island. There arc extensive marshes 

 in the vicinity, also areas of dry pasture-land, jungle, i)ine-woods, 

 etc., with growths of mangrove along the river for a considerable dis- 

 tance from its mouth, and lining a larger salt-water lagoon which lies 

 just back of the coast to the southward. This diversity of conditions 

 makes the locality an ideal one for collecting birds. 



Los Tres Ilermanos Mountains. — A name applied by Mr. Read to 

 the three northernmost peaks of the Casas range, close to Nueva 

 Gerona. 



Majagua River. — See Rio de la Majagua. 



Mai Pais. — The name applied to the region along the river of the 

 same name, visited by Mr. Zappey. 



'^Managua." — A misspelling of Manigua. 



Manigua. — A famous plantation along the Rio de las Nuevas, a 

 few miles above McKinley, visited by Mr. William Palmer in 1900, 

 in which year it was abandoned. 



McKinley. — A town-site, with a number of scattering houses, along 

 the Rio de las Nuevas, a few miles from its mouth. It is a locality 

 frequently mentioned in Mr. Read's articles, 



Morrillo del Diablo. — An island off the north coast, east of the 

 high promontory, Punta del Colombo, and famous as a resort of the 

 Florida Cormorant.
