Seiurus ludovicianus in Maine — A Correction. — The recent death of 
Prof. C. E. Hamlin makes it necessary to correct an error, which, if he 
had lived, he intended to have corrected himself. 
In his Catalogue of the liirds of Waterville, Maine, f the Large-billed 
Water-Thrush was included on the evidence of a single specimen (No. 
2392, Cambridge Museum Comp. Z06I.). Professor Hamlin and I re- 
cently examined this bird and found it to be the common Oven-bird 
( kS. aurocap Ulus ) . 
It is only just to Professor Hamlin to state that he should not be held 
responsible for the error, as he sent a large number of alcoholic speci- 
mens to the Cambridge Museum at that time, and after they had been 
identified, the list of names (among which was ( Seiurus ludovicianus) 
was returned to him and by him incorporated in his paper. Nor was the 
mistake Mr. Allen’s, as he was not connected with the Museum until 
several years later. 
This leaves Seiurus ludovicianus with but a single record for the State 
of Maine. — Arthur P. Chadbourne. Cambridge , Mass.
