39. Fulica americana Gmel.— Recorded from Isle of Pines 
by Cory and by Gundlach. Not noted by Zappey nor by Pal- 
mer and Riley. As with many other species that are winter 
residents in the Isle of Pines, the trips made by Zappey and 
by Palmer and Riley were too late in the season to find these 
birds still in the island.

* This bird may or may not be considered different urina from the Sandhill 
Crane of North America to rank as a full species; we e given it a binomial 
because we "9 agree with Dr. Sharpe that the bird d Ardea (Grus) mext- 
cana by P. L. S. Müller is not the one to which the name is generally appli 
—the in Crane of North America. Until the synonymy of these birds is 
properly adjusted it is better not to give the Isle of Pines Crane as a subspecies.
