Ml-. Bowerman also reported Dendroica Dominica. Yellow-throat- 

 ed Warbler, as shot here by him on 2-lrth May. This is a bird of the 

 Soutliern States, and as it was not identified hy a professional ornitho- 

 logist and unfortunately the skin was not ;'preserved the leaders do not 

 feel justified in assuming the responsibility of recording it for the first 

 time in Canada. It may be stated that there is a specimen of this bird 

 in the Geological Survey Museum, but the locality of its capture is un- 

 known. 



The following birds were observed at somewhat unexpected times : 



Larus argentatus smithsonianus American Herring Gull June 5. 

 Usually appears here in April. 



Corvus Americanus American Crow A few individuals remain 

 here all winter feeding on the refuse from slaughter-houses. 



Acanthis linnria Redpoll June 3. A winter bird, seldom ob- 

 served later than March. 



Spinus tristis American Goldfinch Has remained with us all 

 this winter in large numbers; i)robably induced to do so by the unusual 

 abundance of white c^dar cones, of the seeds of which they seem fond. 



Spinus pinus Pine Siskin May 2. Usually appears in winter 

 only.
