90 The Wilson Bulletin — No. 104 



note, none having been seen during my stay, while eight miles 

 up the river — at St. Marks — we have that species more nu- 

 merous than the Turkey Vulture. In a daily census of these 

 tvv^o species taken at St. Marks and continuing for nearly two 

 and a half years the Black Vultures average decidedly the 

 more numerous. The query arises, are the Black Vultures 

 averse to frequenting the immediate vicinity of the coast or 

 was it merely a coincidence that for two weeks none were 

 seen? 



The Man-o'-war birds were driven in during our share of 

 a West Indian hurricane on September 29. These birds are 

 rarely if ever seen inshore here, unless under such circum- 

 stances.
