20. STREPTOCERYLE TORQUATA STICTIPENNIS (Lawrence). 
Martin Pecheur. Pie. 
One adult male from Goyave, August 27th. 
The Martin Pecheur is found very locally distributed over the whole 
of Guadeloupe. It frequents the mountain torrents and pools, flying 
overland from one stream to another. 
At Goyave I observed two Martin Pecheurs but was able to secure 
but one. At least one pair bred in the spring of 1914, in the high 
sand banks six miles up the Riviére de Goyave. The nesting hole 
resembled that of Streptoceryle alcyon, but was of course much larger. 
21. SPEOTYTO GUADELOUPENSIS GUADELOUPENSIS Ridgway. 
Coucou. 
One adult specimen, which I was told came from Marie Galante, 
presented by the Musée L’Herminier. It now bears the catalogue 
number M. C. Z. 66347. The type of the species is M. C. Z. 74167. 
The Burrowing Owl was formerly found on the cliffs of Marie 
Galante, but, since the introduction of the Mongoose some twenty 
years ago, it has completely disappeared. I could find no evidence 
of its ever having existed on Guadeloupe, Grande Terre, or Les 
Saintes. 
The Musée L’Herminier had five well-mounted specimens of this 
species. Unfortunately they bore no data nor was thére any record 
of their presentation to the Musée. The conservateur, however, 
assured me that they came from Marie Galante many years ago. 
22.. NEPHOECETES NIGER JAMAICENSIS (Ridgway). 
Gros Martinet Noir. Hirondelle de Montagne. 
Two adult males and one female from Goyave, September Ist. 
It seems advisable to refer the Guadeloupe bird to this race, typical 
of Jamaica. No specimens from Haiti or Santo Domingo have been
