Garzetta candidissima at Nantucket, Massachusetts. —Visiting 
the above-named island, Aug. 12, 1882, I saw in the shop of Mr. H. S. 
Sweet, a mounted specimen of the Little White or Snowy Egret, which 
he said was shot near the south-west shore, at Hummock pond, last 
March, by one of the men of the Life-saving Station. A straggler to 
New England, the species has occurred far less frequently than its larger 
relative the White Heron (. Herodias egretta ), and this capture in early 
spring is remarkable. — H. A. Purdie, Newton , Mass.
