men shot supposedly near Omaha, and mounted by F. J. Brezee at that place. 
It has since developed, however, that the bird may have been secured either 
in Iowa or Missouri, and unless it can be definitely determined where the 
specimen came from this species must be excluded from our list.] 
Famity FREGATIDA—Fricate Birps 
[The second family is represented by 128. Fregata aquila (Linnaeus), the 
Frigate Bird or Man-o’-War Bird, a species of tropical and subtropical oceans 
which because of its extraordinary powers of flight occasionally strays in- - 
land into temperate regions, and has been recorded from Texas, Kansas, 
Ohio, and Wisconsin. In the spring of 1884 Bruner saw a bird near West 
Point which he took to be this species, and a later oceanic acquaintance 
with it has convinced him of the correctness of the identifieation. But in 
view of the unusual nature of the record and the lack of a specimen it is not 
given full standing in the list.]

[The Florida Cormorant, 120a. P. d. floridanus (Audubon) has been re- 
ported several times from Nebraska, but all the specimens at present availa- 
ble are referable to dilophus. However birds occur which are decidedly 
smaller than average dilophus, and since floridanus has been found north 
to southern Illinois as a breeder, it is thought best to leave its status an 
open question for the present. The Mexican Cormorant, 121. Phalacrocorax 
mexicanus (Brandt), reported by Bruner, was not seen by him personally, 
but included in his list on the statement of a friend, who probably had seen 
a specimen of the common species. It has, however, been found north to 
southern Illinois and Kansas, and may straggle to Nebraska.]
