136 BIRDS OF THE WEST INDIES. 
Seventeen specimens now before me have the base of the bill red for from 
one third to one half its length. All but one of these were taken near Antigua, 
W. I, during June and July. Several birds taken in Guadeloupe in September 
have the bill black, and are apparently similar to specimens of S. dougald: taken 
in the United States. 
8. LHydrochelidon leucoptera Barbados. Feilden, Ibis, 1889, p. 502. 
9. Hydrochelidon leucopareia Natt. Recorded from Barbados as HZ. hydbrida. 
Saunders, P. Z. S., 1876, p. 640. Feilden, Ibis, 1889, p. 502. A somewhat doubtful 
record. 
10. Zstrelata hasitata (Kuhl). Guadeloupe, Lawrence, Auk, 1891, p. 59. 
11. &strelata caribbea (Carte). According to Scott (Auk, 1891, p. 355), 
this should be called carzbéca and not jamaicensis, as Bancroft gives no description 
and no plate, but suggests that if the Petrel he writes about proves new, that it be 
called Procellaria jamaicensis. Zool. Journ., Vol. V., 1828, pp. 80, 81. Carte, in 
P. Z. S., 1886, pp. 93, 95, gives plate and description, and calls it Pterodroma 
caribbe@a, which should stand as the name. 
12. Sula cyanops, Bahamas. Ridgway, Manual N. A. Birds, p. 75, 1887. 
Jamaica, Scott, Auk, 1891, p. 353. Cory, Birds of Haiti and San Domingo, p. 170, 
1885. Id., Birds of the West Indies, p. 272, 1889. 
Dr. Bryant found this species breeding on San Domingo Cay in 1859, and a 
colony of these birds still breed on that island. I have received specimens from San 
Domingo Cay which were taken by Mr. J. H. Ingraham during the past winter. 
13. Szla coryi Maynard. Contributions to Science, p. 43, Pt. I, Vol LI. 
1889, Newtonville, U.S. A. Sv/a cory7 has thus far only been taken in the Cayman 
Islands, where it breeds on Little Cayman and Cayman Brac, but not on Grand 
Cayman. This bird somewhat resembles Szda piscator, but is apparently quite 
distinct from that species. Sz/a piscator has been recorded from Cuba, Jamaica, 
and Barbados, but I have not seen a specimen from the two first-named islands. 
The common species, Sw/a swda,“tanges throughout the West Indies and 
breeds in many localities.

14. P. erythrorhynchus Gmel. has been recorded from the Isle of Pines, and 
an adult male bird of this species was shot near Havana during the winter of 1889- 
go, and is now in the Havana Institute.
