138 DutcHeR, Bird Notes from Long Island, N. Y. [April 
was crossing the field in which he obtained the specimen September 29 
when he saw what he supposed were three individuals of this species. 
They, however, flew before he had a chance to secure either of them. He 
returned to the same field about noon and flushed one which was in com- 
pany with some Song Sparrows. It flew into an apple tree when he 
secured it. It proved to be a male, and the exact counterpart of the one 
first shot. The above are the only Long Island records that I am cogni- 
zant of since the Giraud and Lawrence lists were published. 
13. Lanius ludovicianus. JoGGERHEAD SHRIKE.—The first record of 
this species on Long Island was made by Mr. N. T. Lawrence in 1878.* 
No other records have been made since, that Iam aware of. I have the 
pleasure of adding a second record; a male, young of the year, taken 
August 28, 1888, at Springs, Suffolk Co. It was sent to me in the flesh 
by a correspondent, Mr. Daniel D. Parsons, who occasionally sends me 
birds, especially those that are new or strange to him. His letter of trans 
mittal stated that the Shrike ‘‘was alone, and was shot from the highest 
branch of an apple tree, in the middle of a field. I never saw one like it 
before.” From the date of capture, and also from the locality—near the 
extreme eastern part of the Island—it is probable that this specimen was 
bred on Long Island or in the adjoining State of Connecticut. 
14. Helminthophila peregrina. TENNESSEE WARBLER.—This species 
was introduced into the Long Island list by Mr. George N. Lawrence.t 
In his collection, now in the American Museum of Natural History, New 
York City, there is one specimen, a male, from Long Island. Since the 
above I can find no other records from that locality. I have had the pleas- 
ure of adding to my collection four specimens from Long Island, from 
the lighthouses.

15. Dendroica castanea. BAY-BREASTED WARBLER.—Mr. Giraud 
said of it: ‘‘*The Bay-breasted Warbler is among the last of the Genus 
that arrives among usin spring. During some seasons it occurs in con- 
siderable numbers, but in general it is by no means plentiful.”{ The 
Lawrence collection contains two examples, a male and a female, from 
Long Island. Mr. A. H. Helme, who is an indefatigable and very care- 
ful collector, kindly permits me to record the specimens of this species 
that he has taken at Miller’s Place, Suffolk Co., since he has been collect- 
ing. May 29, 1882,a male; May 16, 1884, a male; September 12, 1888, 
one, sex not given. September 14, 1888, he was sure he saw another, but
