3. Melospiza lincolni (Aud.) Baird. Lincoln’s Finch. 
— Three individuals of this species were killed by striking Fire 
Island Light the night of May 9, 1882, and were sent me. The 
testes of two dissected were well developed. I have never taken 
this species on Long Island while collecting. It was not included 
by Mr. Giraud in his list published in 1844,* but was by Mr. 
G. N. Lawrence in his catalogue published in i866.f

Notes on Long Island Birds. — Melospiza lincolni. — In the Parkville 
woods along the edge of a thicket, a small, active sparrow was seen on 
the morning of Sept. 28, 1895. A recent moderate fall of temperature 
made the morning an animated scene of bird-migration, and this bird 
would hardly have attracted attention among many other small birds had 
it not been for his alert and ill-at-ease manner. This fact alone led me to 
think him not a Song nor a Savanna Sparrow, either of which he might 
readily have been mistaken for. He made no sound by means of which 
aid could be gained in his identification, but stood on the horizontal 
limb of a small tree, with jerking tail and erected occipital feathers, as 
though resenting the gaze of an intruder. Ft proved a Lincoln’s Sparrow. 
The specimen is an adult female. C , <n , / 3 ro-oUlyn .
