Xanthocephalus xanthocephalus in Connecticut. — A bird which ap- 
pears to be unquestionably of this species was shot out of a flock of 
Agelaius fihczniceus, on the open meadow opposite Hartford, late in July, 
1884. From the plumage, I consider it to be a female. This makes, I 
believe, the third recorded occurrence of this species in New England. —

Last July I shot a female Yellow-headed 
Blackbird from a flock of Bed-winged Black- 
birds in the marshes near Stamford, Conn., 
which I believe to be au unusual occurrence.

In the same collectiog was an unlabelled skin of a female Yellow-headed 
Blackbird , which Dr. Hotchkiss told rhe he was certain was shot near New 
Haven in June, 1878. In this connection it may be well to report that 
another female of this species was taken on Monomoy Island, Mass., Sep- 
tember 8, 1897, by Mr. W. B. Revere, and given to me while in the flesh. —
