When not collecting, we passed most of our time with Dr. 

 Gundlach at the Museum, studying his fine collection which he 

 has deposited in the Havana Institute. The collections of Cuban 

 birds, mammals, insects and land shells are nearly complete, and 

 are the result of fifty-three years' collecting on the Island by Dr. 

 Gundlach, almost everything in the collections having been pro- 

 cured and prepared by himself. 



From Havana we went to San Diego de los Bafios, a little town 

 situated at the foot of the mountains in western Cuba. To reach 

 tliere one lias to go some five hours b}' rail to Passo Real, and 

 from there is driven about twelve miles to the foot of the moun- 

 tains to the quaint little town of San_D|egojJ[ej£s^3jV2iC)S. At this 

 place we found birds abundant, especially the Cuban Trogon, 

 but onlv comparatively common species were procured. The 

 birds actually taken were as follows, although we saw many 

 other species which we did not kill, and which are therefore not 

 included in this list.
