Uncommon Birds for Nantucket Island, Massachusetts.—Ardea egretta, 
American Egret. — On September 20, 1890, while shooting at the eastern 
end of this island, I saw in the distance a large white heron-like bird, which 
I thought might be Ardea occidentalism but unfortunately I failed to secure 
it. The following day it was again seen, near the same locality. On Sep¬ 
tember 23, 1S90, this bird was shot, and I saw it; it proved to be Ardea 
egretta , and was without any plumes. This is the first record of one 
being taken on this island. O . //. ,
