Review of Perkins’ “Birds of Vermont.” 
“LIST OF BIRDS FOUND IN VERMONT.” 
Numbers printed in italics signify new species added to Prof. Perkins’ list. 
1. Colymbus holbcellii. Red-necked Grebe. — A rare straggler in win¬ 
ter, and not a “ summer migrant.” Middlebury , Wells River , winter 
i879-’8o, Herrick. Windsor , one seen in full breeding plumage in the 
local collection of Russell Brewster, taken evidently in the spring. 
2. Colymbus auritus. Horned Grebe. — A rare winter visitant, and 
not a “summer migrant.” Middlebury, Alburgh, Windsor, St. Johnsbury. 
3. Podilymbus podiceps. Pied-billed Grebe. — to Oct. 19. 
4. Gavia imber. Loon. — Breeds not uncommonly on Lakes Champlain, 
Memphremagog, Bomoseen, and Dunmore, and elsewhere. 
5. Gavia lumme, Red-throated Loon. — Evidently a rare straggler 
in autumn and winter. Burlington Buy, Nov. 1, 1846. 
Uria troile. Murre. — This species probably very rarely if ever 
comes as far south as Vermont. It is certainly never a “ summer migrant,” 
and until a definite record can be cited the species should not be enumer¬ 
ated. 
6. Uria lomvia. Brunnich’s Murre. — A winter visitant, often in 
exceptional numbers, for example in Decembers 1892 and 1894, and in 
November, 1899. It visits chiefly Lake Champlain, but has been taken on 
the LaMoille River and elsewhere. It too never is a “ summer migrant.” 
7. Alle alle. Little Auk. An accidental winter visitant. Sharon, 
autumn i869-’7o, Baxter. 
8 . Stercorarius longicaudus. Long-tailed Jaeger. — An accidental 
visitant. West Castletoti, two were seen, one of which Avas taken about 
Sept. 7, 1877, by G. B. Dunbar (Auk, 1884, pp. 97-98). 
9. Rissa tridactyla. Kittiwake Gull. — A rare straggler in winter, one 
shot at St. Johnsbury about 1884. Graham, (Rand. Notes, Vol. I, 1884^.4). 
St. Albans , occasional, Woodworth. 
Larus glaucous. Glaucous Gull. — There seems some reason to 
doubt this record as Larus argentatus is not included in Dr. Cutting’s List 
and his knowledge of water birds seemed slight. 
10. Larus argentatus. PIerring Gull. — Occurring also as an autumn 
and winter visitant, though absent in the severest weather. Its breeding 
on Four Brothers Island (New York) is attested by others beside Prof. 
Perkins. 
11. Larus atricilla. Laughing Gull. — Probably not a “summer resi¬ 
dent.” Its occurrence except as a straggler seems doubtful. Bristol, one 
voung caught May, 1883, E. O. Tuttle. St. Albans , occasional, Wood- 
worth. 
* The order followed in this Review for convenience sake is the same as that 
followed by Prof. Perkins, that of the American Ornithologists’ Union.
