Dutcher, Bare Long Island Birds. 
Himantopus mexicanus. Black-necked Stilt —Two specimens are 
in the collection, one labelled “Great South Bay, 1843,” and the other 
“Great South Bay.” Col. Pike says of them : “These birds were col- 
lected by me and the location is correct. Always a rare bird on Long 
Island; I have not seen one m my rambles for over thirty years.”
