This species is occasionally seen in Bermuda in the autumn. One 

 was shot by Mr. Pooley, Twentieth Regiment, in 1845, and one by Mr. 

 Hurdis in December, 1851. Mr. Bartram has a male and two female 

 specimens. As might have been expected, he was somewhat unwilling 

 to believe that they were of the same species. A female was picked up 

 dead in Warwick Parish in November, 1874, by a "colored" boy, who 

 showed it to me too late for preservation, unfortunately.
