The Brue crey Frycarcugn, Muscicapa cerulea, 
which was formerly thought to proceed no farther to 
the north than New York, is, I am told by the same 
gentleman, found in Massachusetts, and as far as the 
Canada line. Professor Emmons tells me that in 
Berkshire, the preceding species is common, but 
that he has never met with this. 
T'RAILUs Fiycarcuer, Muscicapa Traillii, a bird 
discovered by Audubon, and named by him in com- 
pliment to Dr. Traill of Liverpool, is also found in 
our State. A specimen was obtained by Mr. Samuel 
Cabot, Jr. in the neighborhood of Boston. ' It has. 
probably been seen and mistaken for the small pe- 
wee, which it so much resembles, that some orni- 
thologists regard them as the same. The difference 
in the size and markings is trifling; but the tail, 
which in the former is even, is slightly emarginate 
in this. Nuttall, however, describes the tail of M.

The Green sLAck-caP Fiycatcuer, Muscicapa

chusetts, on the authority of Audubon. It is very — 
rare in this State, though common enough in Maw
