Belgium. Obs. — Baron de Selys-Longchamps mentions in lit, its 

 doubtful occurrence. 



Germany. Obs. — Temminck and Naumann mention its occurrence 

 in Germany, but the former gives no particulars, and the latter merely 

 says, " has only been killed a few times on the Rhine and Maine." (Vog. 

 Deutsch., VIII, p 41.) Temminck also states, without further infor- 

 mation, its appearance in the Baltic provinces (Man., II, p. 656). 



Italy. Obs. — Salvador! gives an account, quoted from Ninni's Cata- 

 logue of the Birds of Venice, of a supposed colony of this species near 

 Venice ; but, while admitting that a stray specimen may at times occur, he 

 denies the probability of any colony existing (Fauna d' Italia, Uccelli, 

 p. 217).
