The Canadian Field-Naturalist 



[Vol. XXXVI 



ed by Baird are still in the British Museum of 

 Natural History and preserved in pillboxes dry. 



Those of Limnelis gouldii comprise three full- 

 grown (3| by 4 mm.) specimens from St. Ann's, 

 P.Q.; and in the museum is also a vial with two 

 other specimens of the same species, collected in 

 fresh water at Montreal by Prof. Jukes and pre- 

 sented in 1890 to the British Museum by Prof. 

 Rupert Jones. 



When I was in Christiania, Norway, November 

 last, Prof. G. O. Sars there told me that he felt 

 sure that Baird's species, L. gouldii, is the same as 

 the well known North European species, L. brachy- 

 urus. He has now received specimens of L. 

 gouldii from Ottawa, so as to decide this point 

 by rearing and comparison of the two species. 



Baird's "type"-specimen of Estheria caldwelli 

 is a dried shell, 8 by 5 mm. in size. There is no 

 information about when it was collected in Lake 

 Winnipeg. 



Though examining all the arctic Euphyllopoda 

 in Scandinavian museums (besides in London) I 

 have been unable to find any definite records of 

 Lepidurus ardicus from Labrador or of Branchin- 

 ecta paludosa from Spitsbergen. 



The following corrections should be made in 

 the same number of the "Naturalist": 



P. 92 (under MuUer, O.F.) Omit the word 

 Prodromus, and read 1788 instead of 1777. On 

 p. 100 read Camden Bay, instead of Canadian Bay. 



P. 93: Sahlberg's paper was published in 

 Helsingfors, 1875. 



P. 94: Under Brehm, read Vol. 45, instead of 

 Vol. 34.

The Starling in Magog. On Saturday, the 

 11th of March, 1922, a Starling {Sturnus vulgaris) 

 put in its appearance in Magog. 



I came across the bird suddenly on leaving my 

 office at 1.15 p.m. It was feeding, in the middle 

 of Main Street, with some English sparrows, who, 

 with their customary cheek and curiosity were 

 keeping a close watch over the new-comer. 



The Starling had nothing to fear, however, as 

 it is a much larger bird, being 8^ inches in length, 

 and its first concern seemed to be its appetite; it 

 had evidently just arrived and was, naturally, 

 hungry. It later proved to be a male bird. 

 While I was observing, he perched for a few mo- 

 ments on a tree and then resumed his feeding on 

 the ground, working along the roadway to the 

 Dominion Textile Company's Stables, which 

 subsequently became a kind of food-emporium for 

 him as it is for a certain band of sparrows. I was 

 unable to follow up my new acquaintance until 

 Monday, March 13th, when I found him at his
