in the streams after the manner of a kingfisher ; the stomachs 
of those taken, however, contained only remains of insects and a 
few berries. 
Five specimens were taken at Santa Fé, La Vega, Almacigos,

None of the Isle of Pines tyrant-birds differ in any way from 
those of Cuba.

Isle of Pines by Cory, the mockingbird is said by the natives to 
inhabit the south coast in small numbers. None were seen on 
either trip.
