25. Mimus polyglottos. Mockingbird.— Mr. Arthur Tepper, of Flat- 

 bush, Kings Co., brought to me a specimen of this species for indentifica- 

 tion, and informed me that it had been shot in his neighborhood, in the 

 early part of November, 1884. He also stated that another one had been 

 shot a short time previously in the same locality. On two other occasions 

 he saw what he was positive were Mocliingbirds, both being in the sum- 

 mer. Mr. Giraud says of it: "This unrivalled songster occasionally 

 passes th- season of repraduction on Long Island."*

Interesting Birds found on Long Island, N. Y. — Mimus poly- 

 glottus. — I shot a young Mocking-bird at Gravesend, L. I., on August 9, 

 1879, in sucli immature plumage as to render it probable that it had been 

 bred in the neighborhood. I am not sure that this bird can be considered 

 rare on Long Island though it is at least uncommon.
