Empidonax flaviventris on Long Island, N. Y. — While collecting at 
Flatbush, in the suburbs of Brooklyn, on June 4, 1892, I secured a male 
Yellow-bellied Flycatcher, which I find is the first record for Long Island. 
No others were observed, although I hunted carefully through the patch 
of underbrush and dead saplings where the specimen was secured. — Curtis

Notes on Some Long Island Birds. — Empidonax flaviventris. — Mr. 
E. F. Carson, of Brooklyn, has kindly permitted me to record two speci- 
mens of this Flycatcher, which he has secured in the vicinity of Brooklyn, 
N. Y. The first one was killed in a tree on Madison Street, in the heart 
of the city, on June 10, 1893; the second was shot in the woods at Park- 
ville, Kings County, on August 19, 1893. They were both males, and the 
only ones we have met with on Long Island.

Empidonax flaviventris. The Yellow-bellied Flycatcher was first 
described in 1S43 by Wm. M. and S. F, Baird as Tyrannula flaviventris 
in Pr. Ac. Nat. Sc. Phil., I, 283. Giraud makes no mention of the species 
in ‘The Birds of Long Island,’ published in 1844, though it had been 
separated and described, as above, in the year preceding the issue of his 
work. It is a matter of interest to note that the first specimen in the 
series of this species in Prof. Baird’s collection was taken on Long 
Island, being labeled Raynor Sound (South), Long Island, Aug 4 1831 
(Cat. No. 1951. See U. S. P. R. R. Exp. and Surveys, IX, i860, p. i 99 . 
It seems to occur rather rarely on Long Island in spring, while in the 
autumn it is certainly not. rare. Mr. Dutcher has kindly furnished me 
with the following data of its occurrence : Aug. i 9 , 1893, Parkville (Coll 
Wm. Dutcher); Sept. 18, 1890, Statue of Liberty, N. Y. Harbor; May 19, 
1892, Flatbush (per A. H. Howell); June 10, 1893, Brooklyn (per A. IL 
H.). The following dates of their occurrence are added from my own 
notes: May 25, 1897, Parkville; Aug. 27, 1898, do.; Sept. 2, Sheepshead 
Bay; Sept. 11, 1895, Parkville. The above dates probably cover nearly 
the limits of its occurrence on Long Island ; namely, May 19 to June 10 
and Aug. 4 to Sept. 18. — Wm. C. Braislin, M. D., Brooklyn, N. V.
