From the list presented in the foregoing pages a brief discus- 

 sion of certain species will conclude the present synopsis of the 

 bird fainia of the reoion under consideration. 



Podilymbus podiceps. — A few representatives of this species remain 

 to breed in this portion of Florida. 



Stercorarius parasiticus. — It seems probable that this will be found to 

 be of regular occurrence on the Gulf coast of this region. A specimen 

 in my collection (No. 3213) was taken at Marco in the winter of 1S84, by 

 Mr. Hart. 



Anas fulvigula. — A common resident at Lake Flirt where great num 

 bers may be seen throughout the year. They begin to breed late in 

 April. 



Botaurus neoxenus. — Of the seven specimens of this species so far ex 

 isting in collections, the original type and five of the others were all se- 

 cured in this part of Florida. It is now known to occur regularly, 

 though probably in small numbers, in Lake Flirt and in the great tracts 

 of sawgrass that surround Lake Okeechobee. 



I was taken by Capt. Menge to the points in Lake Flirt where that 

 gentleman had secured specimens, and was shown the exact spots where 

 two at least were shot. There is nothing apparently in the environment 

 that does not exist in many parts of southern Florida, and it seems 

 probable that careful search through the great swamps of sawgrass and 

 inaiden-cane, will result in extending very considerably the range of this 

 little-known species. The points where individuals have been secured 

 by Capt. Menge, and others observed, indicate that the birds occur over 

 an area that extends at least fifty miles in one direction by fort^ in ati-
