The White-crowned Sparrow ( Zonotrichia leucophrys') on Long Island, 
N. Y.— I am permitted to record the capture at Parkville, L. I., of the 
White-crowned Sparrow on April io, 1897. I consider noteworthy the 
early date of the record. — William C. Braislin, M. D., Brooklyn , W. Y.

20. Zonotrichia leucophrys. White-crowned SPARROW.-Mr. Giraud 
includes this bird in his list, but does not say specifically that he ever took 
or even saw a specimen on Long Island. Inferentially he includes it, 
but considers it rare “in the Middle States.”§ Mr. Geo. N. Lawrence, 
gives it in his list, and I find in his collection, now in the American 
Museum of Natural History, Central Park, New York City, two specimens 
from Long Island. I have secured two specimens in the past nine years. 
The first one of these has already been recorded. || The last one, an im- 
mature male, I shot October 16, 1886, at Broadway, Queens Co. It was 
first seen in a roadside thicket of catbriars ( Smilax rotundifolid) , but was 
thought to be a White-throated Sparrow. After the lapse of half an hour 
the thicket was again visited and the bird was found and secured. It was 
alone.
