GENERAL NOTES. 



Orxithological Notes from the Magdalen Islands. 

 — The following birds were obtained in the Magdalen Islands 

 by my collector, Mr. k. M. Frazer, during a short stay in 

 that locality. The first two are, I believe, new to the pub- 

 lished lists of the ornithological fauna of that section. 



Geothlypis Philadelphia ( WIU.) Baird. Mourn- 

 ing Warbler. — One specimen taken. 



Chrysomitris pinus {Wils.) Bona20. Pine Finch. — 

 One specimen, a young female, was shot June 26, 1882. It 

 was evidently hatched this season. 



Aegiothus linaria Cab. Red-poll Linnet. — Birds 

 in nesting plumage occurred in flocks. A specimen obtained 

 on June 29 were changing into the second plumage.
