At Montauk Point, L.I., Nov. 13, 1899, I secured a small Sparrow that 
proves to be Ammodramus bairdi . The sex I was unable to determine, 
as it was too badly injured by shot. Dr. Jonathan Dwight, Jr., who has 
examined the specimen, writes me that it is “chiefly in juvenal plumage 
passing to first winter.” So far as I am aware this is the first instance of 
its occurrence that has been reported from the Atlantic coast. — Arthur
