348. Sitta canadensis. Red-breasted Nuthatch. 



Rather common winter visitant. July 20 (Parkville) to 

 April 20 (Selden, A. H. Howell). 



349. Bseolophus bicolor. Tufted Titmouse. 



Apparently rather common in Giraud's day {Birds of L, I., 

 p. 78), it is now one of the rarest of the Long Island avifauna. 

 Two recent records exist (Dutcher, Brooklyn, Auk, x, 1893, 

 p. 277; and Braislin, Sheepshead Bay, March 14 and 15, 1898, 

 Auk,^x, 1902, p. 148). 



350. Parus atricapillus. Chickadee. 



Common permanent resident. This species seems to be 

 confined during the nesting season to the limit of the pine and 

 scrub-oak flora of Long Island. In winter it is found gener- 

 ally distributed. 



351. Regulus satrapa. Golden-crowned Kinglet. 

 Common transient and winter visitant. Oct. 10 (Parkville) 



to April 13 (Flatlands). 



352. Regulus calendula. Ruby-crowned Kinglet. 

 Common transient visitant. April 5 (Flatlands) to May 7 



(Parkville) and Sept. 25 (Parkville) to Oct. 12 (Flatlands). 



353. Polioptila cserulea. Blue-gray Gnatcatcher. 



A specimen in the Long Island Historical Society taken at 

 Canarsie in 1849 was reported by Mr. Dutcher {Auk, x, 1893, 

 p. 277) ; a second specimen was recorded by N. T. Lawrence, 

 taken at Far Rockaway, April 18, 1874 {Auk, ii, 1885, p. 272); 

 De L. Berier reported one shot Oct. 11, 1879, at Fort Hamilton, 

 {Bull. N. 0. C, vi, 1881, p. 272); Dr. Jonathan Dwight, Jr., 

 recorded one taken at Montauk, Sept. 2, 1885, {Auk, v, 1888, 

 p. 324). 



354. Myadestes townsendii. Townsend's Solitaire. 



This is the latest species to be recorded of several of the
