April, 1901] Griggs — Notes on Bird Life. 93: 



Myiarchus crinitus (Linn.). Crested Flycatcher, breeds. 



Contopus virens (Linn.). Wood Pewee, very common. 



Agelaius pha?niceus (Linn.). Red-winged Blackbird, common. 



Icterus galbula (Linn.). Baltimore Oriole, one small flock 

 migrating. 



Quiscalus quiscula H?neus (Ridgw.). Crow Blackbird. This with 

 the redwings and probably the other blackbirds^ congregates in very- 

 large flocks. 



Melospiza fasciata (Gmel.). Song Sparrow, common. 



Pipilo erythropthalmus (Linn.). Towhee. 



Cardinalis cardinalis (Linn.). Cardinal, one pair, 



Passerina cyanea (Linn.). Indigo Bunting, very common. 



Petroclielidon lunifrons (Say.). Eave Swallow. 



Chelidon erythrogaster (Bodd.). Bai-n Swallow. 



Clivicola riparia (Linn.). Bank Swallow. 



The Swallows flock to the beach by thousands after a storm,, 

 but are not abundant at otlier times. 



Ampelis cedrorum (Vieill.). Cedar Waxwing. 



Dendroica aestiva (Gmel.). Yellow Warbler, common, breeds.. 



Icteria virens (Linn.). Yellow-breasted Chat. 



Galeoscoptes cai'olinensis (Linn.), Catbird, common, breeds. 



Cistothorus palustris (Wils.). Long-billed Marsh Wren, very 

 common, breeds. 



Parus atricapillus (Linn.). Chickadee. 



Merula migratoria (Linn.). American Robin, only one pair, 

 seen only once. 



Manj" birds common in most localities are conspicuous by their 

 absence. The blue jay, crow, thrushes, most of the birds of prej", and 

 the woodpeckers, and many of the sparrows, especially the ubiquitous- 

 English sparrow, were not observed at all. But the species occurring 

 are present in great numbers, so that the region may be said to be 

 monotonous in its bird life as well as in its other ecological relations.. 



PLANT STUPY AT SANDUSKY BAY\ 

 Harriet G. Burr. 



To one whose work has not included collecting and study in such- 

 surroundings as Sandusky Bay affords, the revelation of even a few 

 days here is worth a great deal. The marshes about Sandusky, the 

 rocky islands, the sand dunes at Cedar Point, the "prairie" in the 

 direction of Castalia, all offer valuable work to the student of 

 ecology. 



But during the week spent at the Lake Laboratory last August 

 it was in study of the water plants of the Bay that I found the
