No. 460.] BIRDS OF THE ISLE OF PINES. 203 
One adult female was taken at Santa Seville. It had been 
eating a Ruddy Quail-dove (Geotrygon montana). 
72. Chordeiles virginianus virginianus (Gmel.). — Prob- 
ably an irregular migrant, though it is recorded from Cuba by 
Cory. 
On May ro, a male was flushed from the ground and alighted 
in a pine, at Santa Fé, where it was shot. This specimen 
measures: wing, 200; tail, 105 ; tarsus, 14; culmen, 8. Itis 
in every way like birds that breed in New England. 
73. Chordeiles virginianus minor (Cab.) “ CERICADAY.”’ 
— Common everywhere in the island in the more open country 
and among the. pines. In rainy weather it was often seen 
flying during the day, and at other times roosting lengthwise 
on a pine limb. 
Five specimens were taken at Almacigos, Santa Fé, and Hos- 
pital, in April and May. 
Chordeiles virginianus minor like many other species of birds 
of somewhat similar general coloration, appears to be dichromatic, 
having a rusty and a gray phase of plumage, regardless of sex, 
age, or season. In the present series all are in the rusty phase 
of plumage except one female that is very gray. In a series 
from Cuba we find both phases — one male from Holquin, May 
31, being quite the color of Florida specimens of C. virginianus 
chapmani. That it is not that form can of course be told by its 
smaller dimensions. : 
74. ? Antrostomus vociferus (Wilson).— Recorded from the 
Isle of Pines with a query by Poey. We consider this an 
extremely doubtful record probably applying to the next 
species. 
75. Antrostomus cubanensis Lawr. * GuARAIBA." — A bird 
of this species was started from the ground in the dense woods 
south of the Cienaga in June, and was shot, but was so mangled 
that it could not be saved, It was the only one seen. 
76.? Hemiprocna zonaris pallidifrons (Hartert).— Palmer 
and Riley saw about the crest of the mountain at Nueva ‘Gerona 
some large swifts, that they felt confident belonged to this form. 
77. Riccordia ricordii(Gerv.). “ Zung ZUNG."— The hum- 
mingbird is rather generally distributed throughout the island,
