59. Dalffleish on American Birds in Eivrope, 



[List of OccuiTeiices of North-American Birds in Europe. By J. J. 

 Dalgleish. Extract from Bull. Nuttall Ornitli. Club, vol. v.] 



This very asefni compilation gives in systematic order 

 " references to all the notices of the occurrences of North - 

 American Birds in Europe which have been recorded up to 

 the present year.^'' Mr. Dalgleish does not include in the 

 present list species usually considered common to both con- 

 tinents, but only accidental visitants from the other side of 

 the Atlantic. Of these Ire enumerates 68, besides 9 of which 

 the alleged occurrence is "unworthy of credence.^^ There 

 are, however, some even of the 68 which we should be rather 

 inclined to place in the same category, e. g. Colaptes auratus, 

 GalUnago ivilsoni, and Colymbus adamsi !
