Saxicola cenanthe. Wheatear.— The Historical Society possesses but 

 one specimen of this boreal bird. It is one of the latest additions to the 

 collection, having been shot at Jamaica, Queens Co., in 1885 by Mr. John

 it. Mr Pringle stated that he saw two of these birds in company, but 

 secured only the one presented to the Historical Society.
