Just received a fine Little Brown Crane ( Grus cana- 
densis), killed Wednesday, Oct. 9th, at Natick, Rhode 
Island. J. M. Southwick.

The Little Brown Crane ( Grus canadensis') in Rhode Island. — Under 
date of Oct. 14, 1889, Mr. F. T. Jencks writes me : “I saw today at Mr. J. 
M. Southwick’s natural history store in Providence a finely mounted speci- 
men of the Little Brown Crane ( Grus canadensis) which Mr. Southwick 
informed me was shot the 8th or 9th of October by Benjamin Burlingame, 
at Natick Hill, Rhode Island.” 
I have since learned from Mr. Southwick that the bird belongs to the 
Superintendent of Public Schools at Natick where it will be preserved in 
an educational collection. As far as I am aware this species has never 
previously been reported front any part of New England, although the 
Whooping and Sandhill Cranes are supposed to have occurred rather 
numerously in the early colonial days. — William Brewster, Cambridge , 
Mass. Auk, Vll. P. -89.
