45 



Euff. 



Corn Crake. 



Purple Gallinule, 



Trumpeter Swan. 



Lesser Snow Goose. 



HutcMn's Goose. 



Machetes pugnax. Stragglers from 

 Europe have occasionally been 

 found on Long Island, and a single 

 individual was met with on the 

 coast of New Jersey. 



Crex pratensis. A specimen shot at 

 Salem is now in the collection of 

 the Academy of Sciences. Another 

 was procured near Bordentown, 

 New Jersey, by Mr John Krider. 

 It is known as a Summer visitant 

 to Greenland. (S.) 



Oallinula martinica. A very rare 

 straggler from the south; it has 

 been met with on the Jersey coast; 

 and Mr John Krider informs me 

 that he shot a fine specimen 

 on League Island in September, 

 1848. (S.) 



Cygnus buccinator. This noble bird 

 — ^peculiar to the Continent west 

 of the Mississippi — is included, on 

 the authority of reliable sportsmen, 

 who have shot it on the Chesapeake, 

 as also Delaware Bay. It must be 

 a rare straggler, however, and I 

 have not noticed it in the Phila- 

 delphia market, where the Wild or 

 "Whistling Swan" {Cygnus Ameri- 

 canus) is so frequently seen every 

 Winter. (W.) 



Anser albatus. Mr John Cassin pro- 

 cured, in the Philadelphia market, 

 two pairs, ia the course of twenty 

 years, of this inhabitant of North- 

 West America. (W.) 



Bernicla Hutchinsii. Occasionally 

 seen as far south i 

 Bay. (W.)
