the statement.’ 
14. Quiscalus major Vieill. BOAT-TAILED. GRACKLE, — 
E. A. Samuels said that a pair bred at Cambridge in 1861,3 but 
doubtless the birds were Q. g. @neus. 
15. Sturnella magna neglecta (Aud.). WerstTeRN MEapow- 
LARK.— A bird asserted to be of this species was seen for four 
days by Bradford Alexander Scudder at Taunton. It was identi- 
fied only by song, and was said to be larger than .S. magna, while 
the western bird is smaller. It is very doubtful if the record 
should be allowed to stand.* 
16. Peuczea estivalis bachmanii (Aud.). BacHMan’s 
Fincu.— Recorded from Berlin, Mass., by Dr. T. M. Brewer, 
and later corrected by him, the bird having been found to be 
Ammodramus henslowti. 
17. Ammodramus [Centronyx] bairdii (Aud.). Barrp’s 
SPARROW.— The first specimens of the Ipswich Sparrow (/asser- 
culus princeps) were referred to this species before their true 
identity was discovered.®
