19. Calcarius lapponicus. Lapland Longspur. — One shot at Long 
Island City, Queens Co., January 11, 18S6, by John Hendrickson, is the 
only record I have secured since those noted in ‘The Auk’ of October, 
1886.* This specimen was in company with four Horned Larks. “It had 
but one leg, the left one having been cut off : the wound was entirely 
healed.” Mr. Giraud considered this bird an extremely rare straggler. 
“In, the winter of 1838, several specimens of this bird were observed in 
the New York markets, having been shot on Long Island — but I am not 
aware that this species has ever before or since been met with in our 
section. ”f From my records made thus far I cannot consider individuals 
of this species in the light of stragglers. Further observations, made on 
the beaches and grassy plains, may prove them to be regular, but not 
common, visitants, as in Massachusetts. J

n. Calcarius lapponicus. Lapland Longspur. — Mr. John Hendrick- 
on shot one October 18, 1888, at Long Island City. He informs me that 
it was alone, and was secured as it flew up from among some weeds 
growing on the edge of a drain. From the fact that Horned Larks ( Oto - 
coris alpestris) were first seen that day, he thinks it not unlikely that the 
Longspur had migrated southward in their company. This is the earli- 
est autumn date of which I have any record.
