Gantier.

With the exception of the Water Birds, the foregoing list in- 
cludes nearly all the species previously recorded from Haiti and 
Santo Domingo, besides a number new to the Island, and four 
new species.* 
Dr. Bryant’s list of the birds of Santo Domingo (Proc. Boston 
Soc. Nat. Hist., Vol. XI, p. 89) contains a number of species 
not observed by our party. Some of them are questionable, be- 
ing in all probability wrongly identified. They are as follows : 
Dendroeca dominica , Temnotrogon rhodogaster , Corvus 
jamaicensis? Progne dominicensis , Saurothera vieillotii , 
Picus passerinus , Conurus chloropterus? Columba corensis , 
Geotrygon martinica , Numida meleagris ? Ardea luce? 
Ardea candidissima , HEgialitis vociferus , Himantopus mexi- 
canus? ^uerquedula discors , Podiceps dominicus , Sula 
fusca? Sula dactylatra? Anous stolidus, Sterna fuliginosa. 
Sterna regia , Sterna antillarum , Phaeton favirostris , Pujfi- 
nus obscurus.
