BIRDS OF THE ISLE OF PINES. 
OUTRAM BANGS AND W. R. ZAPPEY. 
INTRODUCTION. 
Tue following account of the birds of the Isle of Pines is, 
for the most part, based on a large collection and field notes 
made by one of us (Zappey) in the spring and early summer of 
1904. Zappey had, however, visited the island once before — 
in March, 1902 — and the few birds, mostly North American 
migrants, taken on that trip that were not observed on the 
later one, are included. In addition to this material, William 
Palmer and J. H. Riley, who spent two weeks in July, 1900, 
near Nueva Gerona, have most kindly placed in our hands their 
notes and lists of birds observed and taken. And lastly, in 
` order to make our list complete, we include such species as 
were recorded from the island by Poey, by Cory, and by 
Gundlach. 
Mr. Riley has made many comparisons for us with the 
material in the United States National Museum, and has other- 
wise done everything in his power to help us, and we here 
express our most hearty thanks for all his kindness. 
! This first collection, unfortunately, did not remain in this country but went 
to the Tring Museum, and thus far has not been reported upon.
