Southern Bight, Andros, April 20, 1884. 
Saw the first specimens at Galden Key a few 
days ago. They are common here. 
Long Bay, Andros, April 24, 1884. Col- 
lected 4, three males and one female. They 
were about to breed. They are very tame 
and can be approached quite near when sit- 
ting on the bay at low water. 
South Shore of Andros, April 27, 1884. 
Common and their langhing notes are con- 
stantlv heard. They rest on the sandbars at
