BIRDS OF TORTUE ISLAND 



Tortue Island off the northern coast of Haiti like Gonave has had 

 its bird life first known through the investigations of Doctor Abbott. 

 At present 47 forms of birds have been recorded from its confines, a 

 number that is sure to be considerably augmented. As the channel 

 separating Tortue from Haiti is deep ranging from 270 to 625 

 fathoms in depth, it might be expected to show as much peculiarity 

 in its birdlife as Gonave but to date only three forms have been 

 recognized as restricted to it. One of these, Vireo crassirostris tor- 

 tugae, has no representative on Hispaniola proper being allied to 

 forms of the Bahama Islands to the north. The occurrence of this 



16 Peculiar to Gonave Island.
