328 CHECK-LIST OF NORTH AMERICAN BIRDS. 



[B 488, C 450, R 4.&6, ^arf, C 6e,6, J>art.] 



Believed to be either the colored phase of ^. occidentalis Aud., or 

 an abnormal specimen of A. wardi Ridgw. {Cf. Ridgw. Bull. U. S. 

 Geol. & Geog. Surv. Terr. IV. No. i, 1878, pp. 229-236 ; Bull. Nutt. 

 Orn. Club, VII. 1882, pp. 1-6; Auk, I. 1884, pp. 161-163; Water 

 B. N. Am. I. 1884, pp. 7-13.) 



10. Ardea (Dichromanassa) pealei Bonap. 



Peale's Egret. 



Ardea pealei Bonap. Ann. Lye. N. Y. II. 1826, 154. 



[B 482, C 3 5 S, part, R 491, /ar/, C 661, part] 



Supposed to be the white phase of A. rufescens Gmel., but possibly 

 entitled to recognition as a local or geographical race. 



Family SCOLOPACID^. 



11. Tringa (Actodromas) cooperi Baird. 

 Cooper's Sandpiper. 



Tringa cooperi 'Bayrd, B. N. Am. 1858, 716. 

 [B527, C422, RS3S, C618.] 

 Known only from the single specimen from which the species was 

 originally described, taken on Long Island, in May, 1833, and still 

 extant in the National Museum. The status of the species is in 

 doubt. 



11.1. Numenius arquatus (Linn.). 

 European Curlew. 



Scolopax arquata Linn. Syst. Nat. I. 1758, 145. 

 Numenius arquatus Lath. Gen. Syn. Suppl. I. 1787, 291. 

 [B— , C-, R-, C— .] 

 Geog. Dist. — Northern Europe, migrating to southern Africa. 

 Recorded as occurring on Long Island, N. Y. {Cf. Marshall 

 and DuTCHER, Auk, IX. Oct. 1892, 390-392.) While there is no 

 question as to the proper identification of the specimen, the evidence 

 that it was taken on Long Island is not considered entirely satis- 

 factory.
