LIST OF OCCURRENCES OF NORTH AMERICAN BIRDS IN 



EUROPE. 



BY J. J. DALGLEISH. 



I HAVE endeavored, in the following list, to place in a convenient 

 form for reference all the notices of the occurrence of North Ameri- 

 can birds in Europe which have been recorded up to the present 

 year. It has no pretensions to being more than a compilation from 

 the best published authorities on the birds of Europe, and, although 

 great care has been taken to secure correctness, it is nevertheless 

 inevitable that some recorded instances may have escaped notice ; 

 and for such omissions I must claim the indulgence of my readers. 

 I, however, flatter myself that none which do not appear here have 

 much claim to authenticity. In many cases, I have been much in- 

 debted to information kindly given me by the best-known living 

 ornithologists of Europe, and to whom my best thanks are due for 

 their assistance. I would particularly desire to mention the names 

 of Messrs. Meves of Stockholm, Collett of Christiania, Reinhardt 

 and Benzon of Copenhagen, Brandt of St. Petersburg, Von Pelzeln 

 of Vienna, Gatke of Heligoland, Taczanowski of Warsaw, Salvadori 

 of Turin, Baron de Selys-Longchamps of Liege, Bureau of Nantes, 

 and Barboza du Bocage of Lisbon, on the continent of Europe, and 

 of Messrs. Newton and Dresser in England. I also have to ac- 

 knowledge here the aid I have derived from the notices recorded in 

 Mr. Harting's " Hand-book of British Birds," of the occurrence of 

 North American birds in Great Britain. 



The only previous list known to me is one by the Baron Selys-
