One, Killingworth, near Newcastle, 6th Oct. 1856: Hancock, 
Ibis, 1862, p. 39. 
Obs. My. Hancock says (J. ¢.):—“I am far from 
believing that this is really its first occurrence in our 
island. It very closely resembles C. ewropwus, and 1s 
almost sure to be confounded with that species by the 
casual observer.” 
It is said to be distinguishable by its smaller size 
and by the general lighter colour of its plumage 
(cf. ‘Ibis, 1866, p. 180).
