Annotated List. 



1. Podilymbus podiceps antillarum Bangs. Antillean pied- 

 billed Grebe. — A grebe known as the zaramagullon was reported from 

 the lagoon at Playa Grande on the western end of the island. As the 

 lagoons on Vieques are dry some seasons the birds may not breed there. 



2. Pelecanus occidentalis Linnseus. Brown Pelican. — During 

 my residence on Vieques Island there were usually a few peUcans in Port 

 Mulas at Isabel II. Others were seen flying elsewhere along the shore. 

 At times they are said to disappear entirely for a week or more and appear 

 again suddenly in small numbers. The islet known as Caballo Blanco off 

 Port Mulas, rising three feet above the sea, with its top scantily covered 

 with vegetation, is reputed to harbor a breeding colony, but in passing near 

 it in a small sloop on April 23 I could see no sign of pelicans. 



3. Sula leucogastra (Boddaert). Booby. — The Booby was reported 

 as an occasional visitant to the shores of the island. 



4. Fregata magnificens Matthews. Man-o'-war-bird. — Frigate 

 birds were seen soaring high over the sea near Manuel Qui and also at 

 Campania. Mr. Bowdish (1900) records them also. 



5. Nyctanassa violacea (Linhaeus). Yellow-crowned Night 

 Heron.— Resident. In a dry swamp near Manuel Qui I found a few 

 pairs of Yaboas roosting in the middle of the day in the dense heavy shel-
