1There is in the New York state museum (no. 324 in coll.) one individual of this 
species believed to have been taken on Long Island in 1853 and we think the evidence 
is sufficient to warrant its being included~fn the list of birds actually taken in New 
York. See Auk, 9:390-92. 
2One specimen of this European form has been taken on Long Island. See Auk, 3:438.
