This note provides a description of the Black Noddy, Anous tenuirostris collected at Dry Tortugas. This is the first of this species collected in the United States. Two specimens were taken from Bush Key during July 1960. The bird occurs nearly world-wide in the warmer seas, but is absent from most of the Atlantic Ocean north of the equator and most of the Caribbean Sea.
