Belgium. Obs. — Baron de Selys-Longchamps mentions in lit. its 
doubtful occurrence. 
Germany. Obs. — Temminck and Naumann mention its occurrence 
in Germany, but the former gives no particulars, and the latter merely 
says, “ has only been killed a few times on the Rhine and Maine.” (Vog. 
Deutscli., VIII, p 41.) Temminck also states, without further infor- 
mation, its appearance in the Baltic provinces (Man., II, p. 656). 
Italy. Obs. — Salvadori gives an account, quoted from Ninni’s Cata- 
logue of the Birds of Venice, of a supposed colony of this species near 
Venice ; but, while admitting that a stray specimen may at times occur, he 
denies the probability of any colony existing (Fauna d’ Italia, Uccelli, 
p. 217).
