This species is occasionally seen in Bermuda in the autumn. One 
was shot by Mr. Pooley, Twentieth Regiment, in 1845, and one by Mr. 
Hurdis in December, 1851. Mr. Bartram has a male and two female 
Specimens. As might have been expected, he was somewhat unwilling 
to believe that they were of the same species. A female was picked up 
dead in Warwick Parish in November, 1874, by a “colored” boy, who 
showed it to me too late for preservation, unfortunately.
