2 ArpenDix-—THE BIRDS OF THE BERMUDAS. 
Dendroeca virens.—One in summer plumage shot by Mr. Bartram 
on the 7th May, 1878. 
Dendroeca pinus.—One flew into Mr. Bartram’s museum on a dark 
stormy night in October, 1877, and lived in his aviary for fifteen 
months, when it made its escape. 
Vireo olivacétis.—One shot by Mr. Bartram 13th October, 1878. 
giothus linarius.— Thousands appeared in December, 1878. Mr. 
Bartram caught between sixty and séventy near his house. 
_ Cardinalis virginianus.—One caught on board ship 350 miles west 
of Bermuda in April, 1878. 
Faleo communis.—Two obtained in October, 1876, by the ‘mah 
Hollis who shot the Red-tailed Buzzard (see notes on Butéo borealis). 
One of these, a female, ‘was only winged, dnd lived in Mr. Bar- 
tram’s possession till March, 1878. 
Haliaétus leucocephalus.—Undoubtedly seen by Mr. Bartram on 
Castle Island on the Ist May, 1877; also at Stocks Point on the 
10th October, 1878. This last bird remained in the neighbourhood 
several days, and eventually took its departure unharmed. 
- Mergus serrator ?—Several Mergansers of unknown species ap- 
peared near the Old Ferry in January, 1883, and two were shot, 
‘but were eaten before they could be identified. 
Tachypetes aquilus.—A large number seen off the Great Head, 
St. David’s, during a strong N. W. gale, and a female obtained, in 
October, 1876. 
Larus philadelphia.—A flock of between fifty and one huridred 
seen in St. George’s Harbour in January, 1879. 
Occanites oceanica.—According to Mr. Bartram there are generally 
numbers to be found round the fishing-boats a mile or two outside 
Castle Harbour, in May, June and July. Some days there are ten 
or twelve flying about, some days none at ail. The specimen in 
Mr. Bartram’s collection was caught by a man fishing on St. 
Catharine’s Flat in his hand. Ten or twelve were seen in the 
Flatts Harbour in October, 1878. 
Puffinus obscurus.—Mr. Bartram has a theory that this bird lays 
two eggs; his reason being that he has always found the nests in 
pairs, with the male bird sitting on one egg and the female on the 
other. This is quite within the bounds of probability, and, if only 
the species were more plentiful at the present time in Bermuda, it 
would be a most interesting problem for solution.
