REPORT OF NEW JERSEY STATE MUSEUM. 39 
VIII. Accidental Visitants .—The homes of the birds included 
in this class are so far removed from our boundaries that their 
presence here at any time can he considered only as purely acci¬ 
dental. In most cases it is doubtless due to the agency of storms 
or high winds which drive migrating birds from their course. One- 
fourth the number given below are Old World birds, and about 
one-half the total number have been found here but once.
