General Notes. 
Hydrochelidon nigra surinamensis in Connecticut. — On the afternoon 
of August 29, 1S93, after the hard southeast gale of that morning, I found 
a flock of about forty Black Terns on the Quinnipiack Marshes near here. 
Possibly this was the same flock that was seen at Milford, Conn., on 
August 24, during the heavy gale of that date, and reported in ‘Forest and 
Stream’ for September 23. — Louis B. Bishop, Nevi Haven , Conn.
