[B 488, C 450, R 486, part, C 656, part.] 
Believed to be either the colored phase of 4. occidentalis AUD., or 
an abnormal specimen of 4. wardi Ripcw. (Cf Ripew. Bull. U. S. 
Geol. & Geog. Surv. Terr. IV. No. 1, 1878, pp. 229-236; Bull. Nutt. 
Orn. Club, VII. 1882, pp. 1-6; Auk, I. 1884, pp. 161-163; Water 
B. N. Am. I. 1884, pp. 7-13.) 
10. Ardea (Dichromanassa) pealei Bonap. 
Peale’s Egret. 
Ardea pealet Bonap. Ann, Lyc. N. Y. II. 1826, 154. 
[B 482, C 355, part, R 491, part, C 661, part.| 
Supposed to be the white phase of 4. rufescens GMEL., but possibly 
entitled to recognition as a local or geographical race. 
FamMILy SCOLOPACID £44. 
11. Tringa (Actodromas) cooperi Bairp. 
Cooper’s Sandpiper. 
Tringa cooperi BairD, B. N. Am. 1858, 716. 
[B 527, C 422, R 535, C 618.] 
Known only from the single specimen from which the species was 
originally described, taken on Long Island, in May, 1833, and still 
extant in the National Museum. The status of the species is in 
doubt. 
11.1. Numenius arquatus (LINN.). 
European Curlew. 
Scolopax arquata LINN. Syst. Nat. I. 1758, 145. 
Numenius arqguatus LatH. Gen. Syn. Suppl. I. 1787, 291. 
[B—, C—, R—, C—.] 
Geroc. Dist.— Northern Europe, migrating to southern Africa. 
Recorded as occurring on Long Island, N.Y. (C4 MarsHaLi 
and DutcHeEr, Auk, IX. Oct. 1892, 390-392.) While there is no 
question as to the proper identification of the specimen, the evidence 
that it was taken on Long Island is not considered entirely satis- 
factory.
