G-sneral Notes 
Ereunetes occidentalis in Connecticut. — Mr. C. C. Hamner, while 
collecting shore buds with me at Lyme, Conn., Sept. 4, 1889, shot three 
birds of this species. There were six of them in all , and they were quite 
noticeable among the Ereunetes pusillus with which they were associated, 
on account of their longer bill. These birds were kindly identified by Dr. 
J. A. Allen, and are nowin the collection of Mr. John H. Sage, Portland, 
Conn. —Willard E. Treat. East Hartford, Conn. 
Auk IX, Oct, 1892. p. 389
