BlRD-SKINS. 



From Swan Island, 31 species, 22 of which are land birds. This number in- 

 cludes 17 migrants from eastern North America ; Coccyzus seniculus, from Central 

 America and West Indies; Columba leucocephala, from the coast of Honduras and 

 some of the Greater Antilles; Mimocichla rubripes, identical with the Cuban 

 species, and not the same as that found on Grand Cayman (M. ravida Cory); Con- 

 topus albicollis Lawr. ?, probably identical with a Yucatan species; and Dendroica 

 vitellina Cory, identical with a species found elsewhere only on Grand Cayman. 



The only new form is a Butorides, allied to B. virescens, but altogether darker 

 in coloration, and perhaps different enough to be considered specifically distinct. 



The water-birds include specimens of the following species: Tringa maculata, 

 Ereunetes pusillus, Totanus flavipes, Porzana Carolina, Sula piscator, S. sula, Fre- 

 gata aquila. 



From Grand Cayman,* 12 species: Certhiola sharpei, Dendroica vitellina, Centu- 

 ru8 caymanensis, Quiscalus caymanensis, and Myiarchus denigratus. A fine speci- 

 men of Vireo caymanensis was also secured, and also a good series of the Dendroica, 

 which Mr. Cory identified (from very poor specimens) as D. petectria gundlachi, 

 which proves to be a very strongly characterized new race not specially near to 

 anything else.
