the south shore; but I am inclined to think, with all deference to the 
authority given, that these must have been escaped “ Blue Rocks” from 
dove-cotes in the islands.

Specimens are recorded in The Naturalist in Bermuda. One was shot 
by Captain Harvey on March 20, 1850, and another was taken alive 
at Spanish Point on October 30, 1854. I saw one at the Sand Hills on 
November 5, 1874. A small flock frequented the fields near Whale. Bay 
all through the winter of 1874~5, and specimens were obtained, one by 
Lieutenant Hussey, Royal Engineer, on February 11,1875. Lhear from 
Lieutenant Denison that two were seen as late as June 20, 1875. Can 
they have remained to breed? These pretty birds are fond of associat- 
ing with the next species, feeding with them on the newly-turned fields, 
conspicuous, when the flock is disturbed, by their larger size and 
long tails. Their flight is very strong and rapid.
