From Cuba we went to Nassau, New Providence, Bahama Is- 

 lands, and spent two weeks, collecting and studying the birds of 

 that Island. Having visited Nassau a number of times, and know- 

 ing the ground well, we were able to do considerable work during 

 the short time we were there.

 April 2 : —

* An adult female of this form was killed by the writer in a mangrove swamp near 

 Nassau. When shot it was carrying a crab in its beak. This bird is very much 

 ighter colored than any I have seen from Andros or the Berry Islands. Another was 

 seen a few days afterwards, but escaped. 



t This species was first observed March 19, and became common after March 23. 



I First seen March 27, one bird shot March 29; a number seen April i.
