Occurrence op Passerculus princeps in New York. — One of my 
correspondents, Mr. Prank E. J ohnson, of Gravesend, Long Island, writes 
me that when out collecting, on December 20, 1876, on Coney Island, in 
New York harbor, he shot three specimens of a Sparrow new to him, 
which were shown to Mr. George N. Lawrence, and pronounced to he the 
Ipswich Sparrow ( Passerculus princeps). They were shot on the salt 
meadows of the island, and were in company with Savannah Sparrows 
{Passerculus savanna) and Swamp Sparrows ( Melospim palustris). This is 
the most southern record of this species.* — H. B. Bailey, Newton, Mass.

The Ipswich Sparrow {Passerculus princeps) on Long Island, N. Y., 
— On the 1st of January, 1878, I took a fine specimen of the Passerculus 
princeps at Rockaway, Long Island. The bird when taken was in com- 
pany with Savanna and Tree Sparrows {Passerculus savanna and Spizell a 
monticold), and was found among a low range of sandhills that skirt 
the main shore of the bay at Par Rockaway. Another was observed the 
same day, but, being very wild, I was unable to procure it. This makes 
the fifth specimen that has been taken in the same locality : the first in 
December, 1870, the second and third in November and December, 1872, 
the fourth, November, 1874, and the fifth, January, 1878. — N. T. Law-

Ipswich Sparrows. 
On Nov. 21, 82, I had occasion to go to 
} m Islancl Beach. This is a wide sandy 
acli some fifty acres in extent, and cov- 
3d with beach grass, and in some parts 
tli bushes and small cedars. As I was 
out to leave I saw several sparrows fly 
and alight on the cedars, and at the 
first glance it struck me that they were 
Ipswich Sparrows, and as if to convince 
me a Song Sparrow flew up beside one of 
them, showing off the large size and pale 
tints of the former very markedly. Hav- 
ing no gun I reluctantly left, but returned 
in the afternoon, and after some hunting 
secured all three of them. Two of them 
measured 6£ inches in length ; the 3d 6 in. 
Since then I have searched the beach over 
carefully but found no more specimens of 
Passerculus princeps.
