One, Killingworth, near Newcastle, 6th Oct. 1856 : Hancock, 

 Ibis, 1862, p. 39. 



Obs. Mr. Hancock says (1. c.) : " I am far from 

 believing that this is really its first occurrence in our 

 island. It very closely resembles C. europceus, and is 

 almost sure to be confounded with that species by the 

 casual observer." 



It is said to be distinguishable by its smaller size 

 and by the general lighter colour of its plumage 

 (cf. 'Ibis,' 1866, p. 180).
