The Bird Rock Consignment. 



Mr. Thompson having been transferred to the above light last autumn 

 I have much pleasure in tabulating below the results of the first consign- 

 ment from his new station. 



Bird Rock Light, situated in Lat. 22° 50' N., Long. 74° 15' W., marks 

 the northeastern limit of the Crooked Island Passage and is on a small caj 

 lying just off Crooked Island. It is, of course, too early to speak defi- 

 nitely as yet, but, as might be expected, it does not appear to lie on any 

 great migration route, and the few specimens captured during the fall of 

 last year are solitary stragglers, with the exception of a flock of Coccyzus 

 americanus which struck the light in some numbers on the night of the 

 15th October.
