82 PROCEEDINGS OF THE ACADEMY OF [1898. 



37. Otocoris alpestris praticola. Prairie Horned Lark. 



Although this species has been recorded during the breeding sea- 

 son by Messrs. Dwight and Parke at Athens, Bradford County, at 

 Williamsport (Koch), and in Elk County (Baily), it has never, to 

 my knowledge, been observed in this county until the summer of 

 1896, when a bird was noted July 6, in a grassy meadow near 

 Dimock. 



38. Cyanocitta cristata. Blue Jay. 

 Abundant, especially in woody situations. 



39. Corvus americanus. American Crow. 



Abundant. 



40. Dolichonyx oryzivorus. Bobolink. 



A common breeder, but decidedly local in its distribution, al- 

 though isolated pairs may be found in all suitable localities through- 

 out the county. At Dundaff, a small village in the southeastern 

 part, at an elevation of 1,620 feet, upward of two dozen pairs were 

 found breeding in June, 1895, while a small colony generally nests 

 in some upland meadows near Dimock. 



It may also be of interest to note that two pairs of this species 

 were observed at Waymart, Wayne County, Pennsylvania, June 

 22, 1895, and four pairs near Sugarloaf Mountain on the western 

 border of the same county, June 23, 1897. 



41. Molothrus ater. Cowbird. 

 Kather common. 



42. Agelaius phoeniceus. Red-winged Blackbird. 



Locally common, breeding plentifully on the marshes of several 

 lakes near Dimock, where I have taken fresh eggs as late as the first 

 of July. 



43. Sturnella magna. Meadow Lark. 



Very common and generally distributed. 



44. Icterus galbula. Baltimore Oriole. 



Common about houses and generally distributed, apparently in- 

 creasing in abundance. 



45. Quiscalus quiscula aeneus. Bronzed (?) Crackle. 



While on a collecting trip with Mr. Witmer Stone in the north- 

 western part of the county, June 22, 1897, a single Grackle was ob- 

 served, presumably Q. q. aeneus. Unfortunately neither of us was
