Crested Flycatcher. 

 Rather rare summer resident. (I saw a pair of these birds fre- 

 quently in Yale's Woods in the spring and summer of i886, and 

 so late as the 15th day of June; from which fact I conclude they 

 were nesting there. Mr. Albert Boardman has a specimen of the 

 eggs of this flycatcher in his collection, which he took from a nest 

 in the hollow of a tree near Mr. Winfield Coe's, several years ago, 

 and Mr. Samuel Jackson found a nest and obtained the eggs on 

 Mr. Richard Miller's farm in 1884.
