Asdros Island, Bahamas 
^Northrop 7 f. 
Phalaerocorax dilophus floridanus (Aud.). Florida Cormo- 
rant. — Cory In his ‘Birds of the Bahamas’ states that this is an abundant 
'species, but inTiis' West Indian Birds’ says it is accidental in the Bahamas. 
We often saw it, and on June 16 while sailing through the Northern 
Bight, found them breeding on a small island known as Cormorant Cay. 
Here were old and young birds, some not able to leave the nest, but the 
majority able to walk. Those still in the nest were covered with a soft 
sooty down, and their gular sacks were pale yellowish white, darker near 
the bill. The nests were about eighteen inches in diameter, and about 
one foot in height, roughly constructed of sticks.
