290 Catalogue of Birds. 



De Kay, in our State Nat. Hist, says of. this species, " They 

 are occasionally seen on the shores of Long Island, but are usu- 

 ally confounded with the Common Crow." I have never seen 

 it north of Squan Beach on the coast of New Jersey. 



Fam. TYKANNIDJE. 



149. Tyrannus Carolinensis (Linn.). King Bird. 



In this city, on Broadway between 26th and 27th streets, 

 there is a large Buttonwood tree {Platanus occidintalis), a 

 remnant of the original forest, but now in the heart of the city ; 

 it stands in the middle of the sidewalk, and has a circumfer- 

 ence at its base of fifteen feet. It rears its head far above the 

 neighboring houses; on one of its upper branches, projecting 

 over the street, Mr. E. Schieffelin pointed out to me last spring 

 a nest of this species, where for several seasons broods of young 

 had been hatched out (probably by the same pair), unmindful 

 of the noise and confusion below.

catcher.
