No. 460.] BIRDS OF THE ISLE OF PINES. 185 
Two were shot by Zappey, and one of them saved, in March, 
1902, at Laguna Grande, but in the spring of 1904 no Pied- : 
billed Grebes were observed anywhere in the island. 
2. Phalacrocorax dilophus floridanus (Aud.). “ CORNA ” 
— Cormorants were common along the seacoasts of the island 
and among the outlying cays, and undoubtedly all birds inhab- 
iting the salt water belong to this form, which has been recorded 
from Isle of Pines by Cory and by Gundlach. Specimens of the 
Florida Cormorant were secured by Palmer and Riley on the 
Cuban coasts, and many were observed at Batabano opposite the 
Isle of Pines. 
3. Phalacrocorax vigua mexicana (Brandt). ‘“‘ CORNA.” 
— One young adult female, was taken in the Cienaga at Pasa- 
dita in May. This was the only one observed. 
This specimen is rather larger than usual for mexicana, but 
E. W. Nelson who has compared it for us with the large series 
collected by himself in Mexico, says that it is equalled and even 
exceeded by some Mexican individuals, and authors generally 
have considered the Cuban Fresh-water Cormorant to belong to 
this race rather than true vigua. 
The skin, no. 13,236, measures : wing, 268 ; tail, 164 ; tarsus, 
50 ; exposed culmen, 50. 
4. Anhinga anhinga (Linn). “Corsa REÁL.” — The 
Anhinga was found by Zappey in the Cienaga only, where it 
was fairly common and a number might be seen any day sitting 
on dead branches of trees in different parts of the swamp, with 
"wings and tail extended to the rays of the sun. One was seen 
by Palmer and Riley at Nueva Gerona. 
Two specimens — a fine pair of adults — taken by Zappey, 
: May 28, 1904, do not differ in any way from Florida birds. 
5. Fregata aquila Linn. “ RABIHORCADO.” — Occurs occa- 
sionally off the south coast of the island, and during a severe 
storm was seen high in air passing over the town of Santa Fe. 
Palmer and Riley also saw it at Managua. ba 
6. Pelecanus fuscus Linn. “Arcarraz.”— A few indi- 
viduals were seen on the south, but none on the north coast. j 
7. Pelecanus erythrorhynchos Gmel. — The White Peli- 
can has been recorded by Cory from Isle of Pines. None were
