BIRDS OF HAITI AND SAN DOMINGO. 



This species is found on the uninhabited reefs and small 

 islands during the summer months, and probably breeds. 



Sterna anosthceta probably occurs in San Domingo, as it is 

 common, and breeds in the Bahamas ; but we did not find it, and 

 it has yet to be recorded.
