117.? Tiaris canora (Gmel.). “ TOMEQUIN DEL PINAR."— 
Under the name Passerina collaris Vig., a synonym of the Melo- 
dious Grassquit, Poey recorded this bird from the Isle of Pines. 
Cory also gives the species from the island, but may have taken 
it directly from Poey. Poey does not include the common Yel- 
low-faced Grassquit in his list, and we consider this a very 
doubtful record probably due to confusion of names. 
At all events, it must be very rare, as nothing was seen 
or heard of it in the Isle of Pines by Palmer and Riley or by 
Zappey. ; 
118. Melopyrrha nigra (Linn.). “ NEGRITO."— The Cuban 
Bullfinch appears to be restricted in the Isle of Pines to the : 
dry, brushy country south of the Cienaga and even there is not 
at all common. 
One male was taken at Puenta del Este, on April 29. 
119. Passerculus sandwichensis savanna (Wilson).— The 
Savanna Sparrow was taken in March, 1902, but on the second 
trip to the island, beginning in April, none were seen. 
120. Coturniculus savannarum passerinus (Wilson). — 
The Yellow-winged Sparrow was also found in March, 1902, and 
was not observed during the 1904 trip. None appear, there- 
fore, to breed in the Isle of Pines, and those seen in March, 
1902, undoubtedly were northern birds. There is, however, a 
resident breeding race in Cuba, as well as northern birds that 
pass the winter there.
