BIRDS OP THE SEVEN BROTHERS ISLANDS 



The bird life of this group of seven small islets off the north coast 

 between Cap-Haitien and Monte Cristi is known principally from 

 brief investigations made by A. J. Poole and W. M. Perrygo of the 

 United States National Museum who collected there at the end of Jan- 

 uary and beginning of February, 1929. They did not succeed in land- 

 ing on the island of Monte Grande which is well wooded and where 

 conditions for small birds are better than on the other islets of the 

 group. Further observations will add considerably to the list of 

 birds that they obtained especially in the way of more migrants 

 since these islands are in a position to attract wandering or lost 

 individuals. The known list of forms follows: 



Ardea herodias adoxa 



Florida caerulea caerulescens 



Pandion haliaetus carolinensis 



Haematopus palliatus prattii 



Charadrius melodus 



Squatarola squatarola cynoswae
