NEW BIRDS FROM CUBA AND THE ISLE OF PINES. 
BY OUTRAM BANGS. 
Dourine a recent collecting trip to Cuba (January to March, 
1913) Dr. Thomas Barbour made a special effort to secure speci- 
mens of certain species of Cuban birds which were imperfectly 
represented in the collection of the Museum of Comparative 
Zoélogy. During the first two weeks he was accompanied by 
Prof. W. M. Wheeler and Mr. Louis Agassiz Shaw, and through- 
out all the journey by Prof. Carlos de la Torre and his assistant 
Senor V. J. Rodriguez, to whom hearty thanks are due. Ex- 
ceptional good fortune made possible the capture of some of the 
rarest and most interesting species, such as Geotrygon caniceps 
Gundlach, Agelaius assimilis Lembeye, and many others which 
are rare in collections. 
Podilymbus podiceps antillarum subsp. nov. 
Type, adult (female?), No. 61,100, M. C. Z., from Bueycito, Province 
of Oriente, Cuba, collected by V. J. Rodriguez, March 9, 1913. 
The resident Antillean Pied-billed Grebe merits recognition as a sub- 
species. It differs from the Continental bird in having a very restricted 
black throat-patch, a rather weaker bill, and in having the black marking 
on the side of the bill nearly obsolete, even in a perfectly fresh specimen.
