164 A FLYING TRIP TO THE TROPICS. 



7. AcTiTis MACULARiA (LiNN.). Spotted Sand Snipe. 



I shot a specimen in the immature unspotted plumage on the 

 edge of a salt-pan north of the town. Along the southeast 

 edge of the Lagoon I saw in July several species of sand snipe, 

 but I did not have my gun with me and obtained no specimens.

8. EupsYCHORTYX CRiSTATUS (LiNN.). Crested Partridge. 



I obtained but one specimen of this partridge, though I saw a 

 good many. Three was the greatest number that I saw together. 

 In June I saw half-grown young ones in captivity. Gould, 

 3Io)i. of Odonto2)hor'uice. 



9. CoLUMBA GYMNOPTHALMA (Temm.). Wliitc-winged Pigeon. 



I saw a young one in captivity in June, and in July I saw a 

 flock of perhaps a dozen individuals, from which I obtained one 

 specimen.

 men. They Avere probably Z. vhiaceo-rufa (Ridgw.). 



11. COLUMBIGALLINA PASSERINA (LiNN.). GrOUud DoVC.

 commonest bird on the island. Aud. Jj. of iV. A. vol. 5, pi. 283.

 I saw a good many of these hawks. There is the same differ- 

 ence in color between the sexes as in our species. I was told that 

 they fed on lizards. 



13. A large hawk that I saw several times at a distance may have 

 been Buteo alhlcaudatus colonas (V. Berl.). 



14. CoNURUS PERTiNAX (LiNN.). Yellow-headed Parrakeet. 



I saw many of these in captivity, some of them barely fledged, 

 and was told that they were caught on the island, but I saw no 

 others.
