ANNOTATED LIST OF THE BIRDS 109 



of white in the wing, the rapid wing-beats, and the musical 

 whistling of the wings, all help to identify this species almost 

 to the limit of vision. 



Long Island. Common winter visitant, (October 18) Novem- 

 ber 3 to April 19 (April 27). One June record. 



ORIENT. Common winter visitant, October 18, 1912 to 

 April 22, 1917; average, November 12 to April 5. One June 

 record at Orient. 



MASTIC. Common winter visitant, November to April 

 27, 1919. 



LONG BEACH. Rather rare; seldom noted except during 

 severe cold waves, and leaving immediately after the weather 

 moderates. November 3, 1921 (Bicknell) to April 14, 1918 

 (Janvrin). 



New York State. Regular but uncommon on the Lower Bay. 

 Now rare on the Hudson in our area except at Ossining, occurring 

 chiefly in midwinter; rare on the Sound. 



BRONX REGION. Rare winter visitant on the Sound, 

 November 26, 1911 (Hix) to April 12, 1918 (E. G. Nichols); 

 occasional on the Jerome Reservoir, observed as late as April 

 15, 1914 (J. Kieran). 



New Jersey. Of regular occurrence on Newark Bay (Urner); 

 one mid- April record on the Reservoir at Boonton (Carter) Casual 

 on a small pond near Plainfield, May 18, 1913 (Miller). Data 

 lacking from the lakes of northern New Jersey. 



ENGLEWOOD REGION. Usually rare, sometimes common on 

 the Hudson in January and February (Griscom, J. T. Nichols, 

 and others); very rare on Overpeck Creek, perhaps only 

 casual; a pair July 28, 1911, male collected (Weber); April 

 11, 1920 (Griscom and Janvrin); a pair April 9, 1922 (Griscom 

 and Laidlaw Williams). November 12, 1922 (Hix). 







BARROW'S GOLDEN-EYE (Clangula islandica) 

 Accidental visitant from the far north. One specimen 

 taken on Long Island many years ago is in the collection of 

 the Long Island Historical Society. Mr. Latham, however, 

 writing from Orient, states that it is occasional in winter 

 there from January 5, 1909 to March 3, 1918. It is to be 

 hoped that this most interesting statement will be confirmed
