Dutcber, Bate Long Island Birds. 
Guiraca cserulea. Blue Grosbeak. — This wanderer from the south 
was taken in May, 1843, at Canarsie. It is a very fine, adult, male speci- 
men. Mr. Akhurst recollects having shot during his active collecting 
some three or four specimens of this exotic bird, and having seen a few 
others that he did not secure. However, it is a great many years since 
he has seen one.
