Long Island Notes. Solitary Sandpiper ( Totanus solitarius ). — 
On the 10th of May, at Flowerfield, L. I., I collected a splendid female of 
this species. Although this is not a rare record, I consider it a very inter- 
esting one because upon dissection I found that an egg in the ovaries was 
very well developed and three others had started to form. It looks as if 
this bird would have nested at or not far from place where taken. 
Black-throated Green Warbler ( Dendroica virens). — This bird is a 
common summer resident at Flowerfield, L. I., where it breeds in the 
numerous cedar woods. Although I searched carefully during the breed- 
ing season I failed to locate a nest. I was just about to give up the search 
for 1910 when I saw a male fly into the top of one of the cedars, with some- 
thing in its bill. After he had flown away the female also came with food, 
and upon looking carefully I saw a nestling perched on a twig near the top 
of the tree. The birds repeatedly fed this one and did not seem the least 
disturbed by my presence; further search disclosed two more nestlings. 
Short-billed Marsh Wren ( Cistothorus stellaris) . I collected, at Floral 
Park, L. I., on October 18, 1910, a fine male of this species. He was 
among some goldenrod stubble in an open lot. — Henry Thurston,
