Ulopa canadensis, Van Duzee. Common. This was referred to 

 in previous list as Ulopa n. sp. It has since been described from 

 specimens taken at Ottawa and Ridgeway, Ont. (Trans. Am. Eric 

 Soc. Vol. XIX, page 301). It is quite common in moss collected late 

 in the fall and I have also taken it in the spring. No individuals have 

 been observed with fully developed wings. 



REPORT ON ORNITHOLOGY, 1893. 



To the Council of the Otta?va Field-Naturalists' Club : 



The Leaders in Ornithology beg to report as follows : 



The birds of this district have been under observation for so many 

 years that any additions to the recorded list must almost of necessity be 

 regarded as merely casual or accidental visitors. Of this character are 

 the first two records which follow - 



Brunnick's Murre, (Uria lomvia). A flock of 20 seen by Mr. G. 

 R. White on the 20th of November on the Ottawa River near the city, 

 out of which 5 were secured. They were identified by Mr. Robert 

 Ridgeway of the U. S. National Museum. Reference has already been 

 made to the&e in the " Naturalist" for January 1894, p. 164. 



Chewick, towhee, (Pipilo erythrophthalmus). One seen by Messrs. 

 F. A. and A. P. Saunders 19th July, about 80 miles north of Ottawa 

 near the Desert. This bird was certainly a long distance from its usual 

 habitat, and the observers being without a gun at the time were unable 

 to " collect " it ; but both of them are familiar with the species in 

 western Ontario, and they are positive of the identification in this 

 instance not only by sight but by call-note. 



Holboell's Grebe, (Colymbus holboellii). There are but three 

 previous records of this species here. On 6th .September Dr. E. S. 

 Wiggins shot one out of a flock of 5 or 6 on Shirley's Bay, Ottawa 

 River.
