4. Ardea egretta. Great White Egret.— A specimen was shot, 
early in September, 1870, on a broad marshy flat a short distance north of 
this village, where the Croton River joins the Hudson. The bird was 
taken to Dr. Fisher, but the warm weather spoiled it before it was pre¬ 
served.

4- Herodias alba egretta (GW.) Ridg-w. American 
Egret. August 3 , 1882, Nelson Verity, a gunner, shot on the 
marshes at South Oyster Bay, and sent me, a male of this species. 
He te Is me that they usually arrive about August r, and remain 
the Htter part of September. In tire course of the season he 
S ees perhaps, 25. During the summer of 18S2 a few were shot, 
a lad ^ llln S two in one day. Verity also tells me that they are 
invariably found m company with the Great Blue Heron, Ardea 
herodias.

209. Herodias egretta. Great White Heron.— Dr. A. K. Fisher writes 
me that “a large white Heron was seen in the marsh at the head of Dun¬ 
ham’s Bay, Lake George, Warren County, N.Y., for a period of a week or 
more in the latter part of May or first of June, 1883. It was seen by a 
number of residents of the neighborhood, its color rendering it very con¬ 
spicuous, and was shot at several times at long range without effect.”

Ardea egretta in Niagara County, N. Y. — In April, 1884 , I reported to 
the ‘Forest and Stream’ the capture of three birds of this species in the ad¬ 
joining county of Orleans, on Nov. 28 , 1883 . At that time I little ex¬ 
pected that I would ever have an opportunity to mention its occurrence 
nearer home. But on the 18 th of last August two specimens were 
brought to me, by different persons, for identification, both taken in 
the town of Newfane, this county, near the village of Olcott, on Lake 
Ontario. I did not have an opportunity to learn the sex, but took the 
measurements of one of them : Length, 364 inches ; wing, 154 ; tarsus, 6 .
