The Fish Crow ( Corvus ossifragus, Wils.), on Lons Island. - On the 
17th Ju y, 1873, I shot a fine female of this species near Rockaway, L. I 
The bml was flying around, but kept apart from a flock of common Crows 
m the vicinity. The bird is not mentioned in Giraud’s “ Birds of Long 
Island although Samuels, in “ Birds of New England,” says, « I under- 
stand that it has been taken on Long Island.” — C. H. Eagle 
[These two recent captures of the Fish Crow by Messrs.' Eagle and 
Roosevelt (see above p. 46) confirm the statement made long since by De 
Kay, that they are occasionally seen on the shores of Long Island, but 
are generally confounded with the Common Crow” (New York Zool. Pt. 
I, 1844, p. 135), which seems to have hitherto been the basis of all refer- 
ences to its occurrence in that locality, and, in connection with Linsley’s 
vTVr rvMTT f Stratf0rd) Conn - Journ - Sci - “d Arts, 
v i a l /f 43 ’ , P ' 26 °^’ ° f ltS P resvmed occurrence in Southern New 
ngland. Although recently observed by Mr. Brewster in Cambridge 
Mass (see this Bulletin, Vol. I, p. 19), there appears to be as yet no un- 
questioned record of its capture in New England, where it doubtless 
occasionally occurs. — J. A. Allen.]
