Little Blue Heron (Ardea caerulea). — A male in adult plumage 
was killed at Lawrencetown, Halifax County, on March 18, 1896 — two 
days after the Least Bittern was shot. The bird was very thin. Another 
specimen, also an adult, was taken at Shut H&rbour, N. S., on April 10, 
1S97. Only once previously has the species been collected in this Prov¬ 
ince. In the summer of 1884 an immature specimen was taken at Cole 
Harbour, near Halifax. ft uslA f 
Occurrence of the Little Blue Heron in Labrador. — On May' 23, 1900, 
a Little Blue Heron (Ardea cczruleci ) was brought to Mr. Ernest Doane at 
Lance au Loup, Labrador, by a man who had shot it there a day or two 
before. Mr. Doane skinned the bird and sent it in a shipment just made to 
my brother and me. The specimen (No. 4433, Coll, of E. A. & O. Bangs) 
is a young male just emerging from the white plumage, having some 
blue feathers in the wings, a few long blue back plumes, and the back, 
neck and head much intermixed with grayish. While to me, little interest 
attaches to such wanderers it still, perhaps, is as well to record them, and 
so far as I know this is the first time the Little Blue Heron, has been 
taken in Labrador. — Outram Bangs, Boston , Mass.
