■ seum of the Long Island Historical Society, is the only known, 

 existing example from Long Island (Dutcher, Auk, x, 1893, 

 p. 275). I have been informed by the late Mr. John Akhurst, 

 through whom the specimen referred to reached the museum, 

 that a considerable number of these birds were shot in the 

 vicinity during the winter in which this one was secured, but 

 that he had not before or since met with, a specimen from Long 

 Island. 



198. Coccyzus americanus. Yellow-billed Cuckoo. 

 Common summer resident. May 30 (Flatbush) to Oct. 23 



(Flatbush). Found nesting the second or third week of June. 



199. Coccyzus erythrophthalmus. Black-billed Cuckoo. 

 Common summer resident. May 15 (Flatbush) to Oct. 3 



(Brooklyn). 



200. Ceryle alcyon. Kingfishek. 



Common summer resident. April 8 (Montauk) to Nov. 7 

 (Stony Brook). 



201. Dryobates villosus. Haiky Woodpecker. 



Rare permanent resident. Its nesting range seems to be 

 confined to the central and northern portions of the island, 

 especially where pines are abundant. At all events, at the west- 

 ern end it is seen only in winter and then, rarely. A set of 

 fresh eggs was found at Miller's Place, May 4, by Mr. Arthur 

 H. Helme. 



202. Dryobates pubescens medianus. Downy Woodpecker. 



Rather common, and fairly well distributed, permanent 

 resident. Its call note may be heard at almost any time of 

 the year in Prospect Park. 



203. Picoides arcticus. Arctic Three-toed Woodpecker. 

 Mr. Dutcher has recorded this bird from Sag Harbor, winter
