Louisiana Tanager taken at New 
Haven, Conn. 
Since I wrote to you I have made one 
of the best captures that I ever obtained, — 
a Louisiana Tanager, Jun cf, on Dec. i^. 
It was unmistakably a wild bird, unusu- 
ally active and noisy. It was shot on the 
outskirts of the city here. It is rather 
smaller than the Scarlet Tanager, meas- 
uring as follows : 
Length, 634 in., extent 934 in., wing 
1334 in. tail 2j4 in., tarsas and toe and nail 
134 in. 
Bill is orange color below, dark above ; 
leg bluish. Two well marked bands 
across wings, upper one pale yellow, 
lower yellowish white. I exhibited the 
bird to several friends, while still in the 
flesh, as positive proof of its actual occur- 
ence here. This adds a new bird to this 
state, and I think the only other New 
England record is the specimen taken at 
Lvnn, Mass., January 20, 187S.

G-eneral Notes 
Capture of the Louisiana Tanager at New Haven, Connecticut.— I made 
one of the most noteworthy captures here on the morning of Dec. 1 7, 1892, 
that I have ever taken, viz., a Louisiana Tanager ( Piranga ludoviciana ) , a 
male in immature plumage. I believe the only other New England 
record is the one taken at Lynn, Mass., Jan. 20, 1878. My bird was 
exhibited to several persons while still in the flesh as proof of its actual 
occurrence here. It is not an escaped caged bird, as the feet and plumage 
clearly indicate. — H. W. Flint, New Haven, Conn. Auk X, Jan , f$93. p. 80 .
