Another Record of the Philadelphia Vireo from Long Island, N. Y 
— On the morning of September 4, 1911, at Freeport, Long Island, I 
was “ beating out ” a tract of bushes on a salt marsh, in hope of seeing 
again a Migrant Shrike which I had flushed there the night before. The 
small growth fairly teemed with birds, but much to my disappointment 
the shrike was not to be found. When about to leave I noticed, feeding 
in the top of one of the taller bushes in company with some Red-eyes, a 
pair of small Vireos that 1 did not recognize. I collected one of the little 
fellows and great was my joy when unpacking t he skin to find it to be a fine 
female specimen of the Philadelphia Vireo ( Vireonylva philadelphica) . 
This bird, which is probably the fifth record from Long Island, and first 
since 1901, is in the collection of the Museum of the Brooklyn Institute. —
