 fragments. 



On March 3 I left the plantation for a three days' trip to Cape 

 Haitien where I was a guest on the National Tobacco Company's 

 plantation, managed by Mr. E. J. Seager. Here a fair-sized collec- 

 tion of the reptiles of this region was obtained. 



Three days' work in Cave No. 5 produced only fair results. In the 

 cave at San Rafael a large series of jaws of a small insectivorous 

 mammal were obtained, together with other mammal and bird re-

mains. One day was spent at Diquini Cave, situated about four miles 

 south of Port-au-Prince, where a few s]:iecimens were secured, and 

 on March 21 I sailed for New York. 



The success of this expedition was due largely to the kindness of 

 Dr. G. F. Freeman of the Service Technique, who furnished trans- 

 portation facilities from Port-au-Prince to L'Atalaye ; Colonel Myers 

 of the U. S. Marine Corps; Mr. G. G. Burlingame. president of the 

 United West Indies Corporation, who extended the hospitality of 

 the plantation at L'Atalaye ; and to Mr. Henry Morales, manager 

 of the plantation at L'Atalaye, who rendered assistance during my 

 entire stay in Haiti.
