 LONG BEACH. Casual, April 12, 1914 (Griscom) and Sep- 

 tember 17, 1914 (Bicknell). 



New York State. Uncommon spring, rare fall transient near 

 the coast, very rare further inland. More individuals recorded in 

 Central Park than anywhere else in our territory. 



CENTRAL PARK. Generally uncommon spring transient, 

 varying greatly in numbers, perhaps once in ten years really 

 common; March 29, 1921 (Blanche Samek) and March 30, 

 1913 (S. V. LaDow) to May 5, 1912 (Anne A. Crolius); rare

New Jersey. Found breeding at High Point, Sussex County, 

 June 10, 1890 (F. M. Chapman); this locality visited by me in 

 June, 1922, but the pitch pine groves had been swept by fire; two 

 pairs found apparently breeding in a pitch pine grove near Round 

 Pond on the Kittatiny Ridge, June, 1921 (Griscom). Otherwise 

 known only as a transient, reported as rare in spring throughout the 

 area, except at Englewood, and almost unknown in fall. Recorded

 Plainfield (Miller) and December 25, 1920 near Morristown (R. C. 

 Caskey). 



ENGLEWOOD REGION. Uncommon spring transient, April 

 5, 1913 (Griscom and LaDow) to May 6, 1915 (Weber); Mr. 

 Weber writes me that in the last five years he has seen 

 from two to as many as fifty specimens each season; only two 

 fall records, October 10, 1915 (J. M. Johnson, J. T. Nichols and 

 C. H. Rogers), and Mr. Weber writes he has taken one speci- 

 men in fall.
