110. Tyrannus Dominicensis, Ricu. — Gray Ning- 
Bird. An immature specimen was taken by Mr. Charles 
Goodall, at Lynn, on October 23, 1868. The bird is 
now in the possession of Mr. N. Vickery. It was shot upon 
a tree near the roadside. The occurrence of this specimen 
is a striking illustration of the straggling habits of some in- 
dividuals among birds, its usual habitat being Florida and 
the West Indies.
