13. REPTILIA, AVES; MAMMALIA. 
These groups have been included in our catalogue for the sake of completeness, 
though they occupy a very different position in our marine fauna from any of the groups 
which have thus far been discussed. 
Of the reptiles, five species have been listed, of which only three are to be regarded 
as marine in the strict sense of the word. These are the sea turtles, which are occa- 
sionally taken in fish traps or otherwise during the summer months. We are indebted 
to Dr. Leonhard Stejneger for criticizing our manuscript list of Reptilia and for aiding 
us in the identification of one species. 
Of the birds, only swimming species which are known to frequent salt water have 
been listed. In some cases it has not been easy to decide whether or not a given bird 
should be regarded as ‘‘marine.’’ In the preparation of this list we have received much 
help from Dr. G. M. Allen and Prof. Lynds Jones. Dr. Allen has kindly examined the 
manuscript of our check list. The nomenclature of the American Ornithologists’ Union 
has been adopted without modification. In the preparation of this list, as in many other 
parts of our work, we have received substantial assistance from Mr. Vinal Edwards, who 
has for many years collected birds at Woods Hole. 
With the exception of the muskrat, mink, and seals, the mammals of our list are 
all Cetacea. The source of these records has been indicated in the list itself. Very few 
of these animals are seen with any frequency in the neighborhood of Woods Hole. 
Indeed some of the whales have not been noted within the region for many years. We 
are indebted to Dr. F. W. True for a number of the records for species, as well as for 
criticizing our manuscript.
