LIST OF OCCURRENCES OF NORTH AMERICAN BIRDS IN 
EUROPE. 
BY J. J. DALGLEISH. 
I have endeavored, in the following list, to place in a convenient 
form for reference all the notices of the occurrence of North Ameri- 
can birds in Europe which have been recorded up to the present 
year. It has no pretensions to being more than a compilation from 
the best published authorities on the birds of Europe, and, although 
great care has been taken to secure correctness, it is nevertheless 
inevitable that some recorded instances may have escaped notice ; 
and for such omissions I must claim the indulgence of my readers. 
I, however, flatter myself that none which do not appear here have 
much claim to authenticity. In many cases, I have been much in- 
debted to information kindly given me by the best-known living 
ornithologists of Europe, and to whom my best thanks are due for 
their assistance. I would particularly desire to mention the names 
of Messrs. Meves of Stockholm, Collett of Christiania, Reinhardt 
and Benzon of Copenhagen, Brandt of St. Petersburg, Von Pelzeln 
of Vienna, Gatke of Heligoland, Taczanowski of Warsaw, Salvadori 
of Turin, Baron de Selys-Longchamps of Liege, Bureau of Nantes, 
and Barboza du Bocage of Lisbon, on the continent of Europe, and 
of Messrs. Newton and Dresser in England. I also have to ac- 
knowledge here the aid I have derived from the notices recorded in 
Mr. Hartings “ Hand-book of British Birds,” of the occurrence of 
North American birds in Great Britain. 
The only previous list known to me is one by the Baron Selys-
