ORDER STEGNAPODES. 
Family Phaethontidae. The Gannets und Pelicans. 
12. Phaethon aethereus, Linn. Red-billed Tropic Bird. 
‘“‘Palanche.” 
Common resident; breeding in company with the Yel- 
low-billed species in nearly all the sea-washed limestone cliffs 
on both sides of the island. Arrives with the other species in 
May and are not seen after July 15th. 
13. Sula cyanops, Sund. Blue-faced Booby. 
Not rare at Scott’s Head and at the northern end of the 
island,—Pointe Jacquet and Cape Melville. Breeds in company 
with the two following species and in about equal numbers. 
Very abundant at various rocky islets throughout the Antilles. 
14. Sula sula, Linn. Booby Gannet. ‘“ Fous.” 
Not a rare resident. Habits and breeding grounds as in the 
last species. 
15. Sula piscator, Linn. Red-footed Booby. 
Found in the same localities as the two preceeding species 
but rather rarer. ‘This species, as well as the other two boobies, 
are frequently seen when approaching the islands by steamer. 
They fly back and forth in the ship’s wake ; sometimes sailing on 
motionless wings close to the taffrail and apparently taking stock 
of the passengers and turning their heads from side to side as 
they keep pace with the vessel a few feet distant. I am informed 
by Dr. Nicholls that he collected this species as long ago as 
1879. 
ORDER, ANSERKS.

16. Anas obscura,Gmel, Black Duck. 
Not uncommon during the fall migrations but very locally 
distributed. ‘Iwo specimens taken at Bois Cotlette Sept, 10th 
and Nov. 3rd, 1904.
