of the same month. 
Turdus olivaceus (of Giraud; Birds of Long Island; Merula 
olivacea of the New York Fauna).— Two examples only have 
been obtained, both of which were shot about the same period 
as the preceding. The term “ solitarius,” in the List of 1849, 
is an error. 
Anthus ludovicianus.— A flock of four was observed near Ha- 
milton, in November, 1848, from which one specimen was killed. 
This would appear to be an omission in Sir William’s list for that 
year.

42d R.T., on the 25th October, 1849.

cimen was obtained on the 25th October, 1849.

one in April, 1849, in the plumage of the young, the other an 
adult specimen, in October following.
