265. Hylocichla fuscescens fuliginosa Howe.* NEW- 

 FOUNDLAND THRUSH. 



Undoubtedly an uncommon spring and late autumn migrant. 

 The only definite record is': Lanesboro, one taken on September 

 27, 1900, by Dr. Walter Faxon and now in the Museum of Com- 

 parative Zoology. 1 It is interesting to note that Dr. J. A. Allen 

 in his " Birds of Springfield " published in 1864 (pp. 57. 58) in his 

 discussion of the right of Alice's Thrush to recognition wrote: 

 " Among individuals of Turdus fuscescens, collected the past 

 summer at Springfield, I have detected a difference similar 

 in kind and as great in degree as that separating forms hereto- 

 fore considered typical respectively of T. swainsonii and T. alicice. 

 Thus one specimen is very highly colored throughout, being very 

 bright reddish brown above, and has the breast bright reddish buff, 

 of about the same tint as is highly colored T. swainsonii, and the 

 spots very distinct, while the other is-very pale throughout, being 

 of a decidedly yellowish brown above, and has the breast pale buff, 

 and the spots more indistinct than in the first." Dr. Allen, it will 

 be seen, was obviously describing ff.f. fuliginosa as compared 

 with H. fuscescens. 



[May]; September [23] to October 5.
