Casual records. — While the yellow-billed cuckoo may be considered 

 only as a casual visitor to Bermuda, an extraordinary invasion was 

 recorded on October 9, 1849, when thousands of individuals suddenly 

 appeared in all parts of the island; a few more have been subse- 

 quently reported. During the period from 1825 to 1921 it was re- 

 corded fully a dozen times from England, Scotland, Ireland, and 

 Wales, all these occurrences being in fall and mostly during October. 

 One was taken at Bois de Lessines, Belgium, in October 1874, and 

 one was collected at Turin, Italy, on October 28, 1883. Two occur- 

 rences have been recorded from the southern part of France, but 

 there is some question that they were correctly identified.
