8 REVIEW OF PERKINS' "BIRDS OF VERMONT." 



"LIST OF BIRDS FOUND IN VERMONT." 



Numbers printed in italics signify new species added to Prof. Perkins' List. 



1. Colymbus holboellii. RED-NECKED GREBE. A rare straggler in win- 

 ter, and not a " summer migrant." Middlebury, Wells River, winter 

 1879 '80, Herrick. Windsor, one seen in full breeding plumage in the 

 local collection of Russell Brewster, taken evidently in the spring. 



2. Colymbus auritus. HORNED GREBE. A rare winter visitant, and 

 not a "summer migrant." Middleb u ry, Alburgk, Windsor, St. Johnsbury. 



3. Podilymbus podiceps. PIED-BILLED GREBE. to Oct. 19. 



4. Gavia imber. LOON. Breeds not uncommonly on Lakes Champlain, 

 Memphremagog, Bomoseen, and Dunmore, and elsewhere. 



5. Gavia lurnme, RED-THROATED LOON. Evidently a rare straggler 

 in autumn and winter. Burlington Bay, Nov. i, 1846, 



Uria troile. MURRE. This species probably very rarely if ever 

 comes as far south as Vermont. It is certainly never a " summer migrant, 1 ' 

 and until a definite record can be cited the species should not be enumer- 

 ated. 



6. Uria lornvia. BRUNNICH'S MURRE. A winter visitant, often in 

 exceptional numbers, for example in Decembers 1892 and 1894, and in 

 November, 1899. It visits chiefly Lake Champlain, but has been taken on 

 the LaMoille River and elsewhere. It too never is a " summer migrant." 



7. Alle alle. LITTLE AUK. An accidental winter visitant. Sharon, 

 autumn i869-'7o, Baxter. 



8. Stercorarius longicaudus. LONG-TAILED JAEGER. An accidental 

 visitant. West Castleton, two were seen, one of which was taken about 

 Sept. 7, 1877, by G. B. Dunbar (Auk, 1884, pp. 97-98). 



9. Rissa tridactyla. KITTIWAKE GULL. A rare straggler in winter, one 

 shot at St. Johnsbury about 1884. Graham, (Rand. Notes, Vol. I, 1884, p. 4). 

 St. Albans, occasional, Woodworth. 



Larus glaucous. GLAUCOUS GULL. There seems some reason to 

 doubt this record as Larus argentatus is not included in Dr. Cutting's List 

 and his knowledge of water birds seemed slight. 



10. Larus argentatus. HERRING GULL. Occurring also as an autumn 

 and winter visitant, though absent in the severest weather. Its breeding 

 on Four Brothers Island (New York) is attested by others beside Prof. 

 Perkins. 



n. Larus atricilla. LAUGHING GULL. Probably not a "summer resi- 

 dent." Its occurrence except as a straggler seems doubtful. Bristol, one 

 voung caught May, 1883, E. O. Tuttle. St. Albans, occasional, Wood- 

 worth. 



*The order followed in this Review for convenience sake is the same as that 

 followed by Prof. Perkins, that of the American Ornithologists' IJnion.
