Gallinula galeata (Licht.). 

 GalUnula galeata Cory, B. W. I. p. 257. 

 I saw a few of these Water-hens on a small pond near 

 Newlands, in company with some Herons (Butorides) . 



Strepsilas interpres (Linn.). 



Arenaria interpres Sharpe, Cat. xxiv. p. 92. 



I met with a small flock of Turnstones on the shore near 

 Savanna. The specimen obtained was just changing from 

 winter to summer plumage. 



On March 13th we left Grand Cayman for Little Cayman, 

 which lies about seventy miles distant in a north-easterly 

 direction. Our chief object in visiting this island was to

 Bay and at once went ashore. Some natives guided us to the 

 "Gannetry"; they told us that Dr. Sharpe had been there

 morning we had about three hours ashore. I collected 

 specimens of the following eight species of birds on Little 

 Cayman : — 



Dendroxa palmarum (Gmel.). 

 Dendroica palmarum Cory, B. W. I. p. 53. 

 Only one example of this species was met with on Little 

 Cayman. 



Dendroeca crawfordi. (Plate XI. fig. 1.) 

 Dendroeca crawfordi Nicoll, Bull. B. 0. C. vol. xiv. p. 95 

 (June 15, 1901). 



I met with only three examples of this Warbler. They 

 were creeping about in some thick undergrowth. It is a 

 near ally of Dendroeca vitellina, but a distinctly larger and 

 paler species. It is also without the dark olive patch on the
