Bullock’s Oriole in Maine.— Mr. Manly Hardy writes me that a male 
Bullock’s Oriole ( Icterus bullocki) was shot “a few miles from Bangor, 
Maine, about the middle of November, 1889, and sent in the flesh to Mr. 
Crosby, the well-known Bangor taxidermist, by whom it was mounted ” 
Mr. Hardy has lately examined the bird and compared it with a Western 
specimen, from which it differs only in being “a little more of a canary 
color.” 
This capture adds a species to the New Engand list as well as to the 
fauna of Maine. It also affords still another example of the curious fact 
that most of the Western and Southern birds which occur in New England 
as rare or purely accidental stragglers, are found in late autumn or early 
winter. — William Brewster, Cambridge, Mass. Ab frr V U l . J a n, i^QOi - p -.
