Dendroica discolor (Vieill.)- Prairie Warbler. 



Mr. Beesley took two or them at Lebanon, Ind., April 29, 1892. This is 

 the fourth locality from which they have been reported in the state and 

 the first record from the northern half. Another record however has re- 

 cently come to hand. Mr. W. O. Wallace took one specimen May 2, 1892 at 

 Wabash. 

 Dendroica tigrina (Gmel.). Cape May Warbler. 



The spring of 1892 this species was comparatively common throughout 

 the state. Only twice have they heretofore been reported in any numbers, 

 and never so numerously as last year. 

 Ardea egretta (Gmel.). American Egret. 



Rare throughout the northern part of the state. A male in full plu- 

 mage was killed May 17, 1892 near Frankfort, Ind. Detailed information 

 regarding its breeding in the state is much desired. 

 Pelecanvs erythrorJiynchos Gmel. White Pelican. 



A bird of this species was killed May 25, 1892 near Bloomfield, Greene 

 county, Ind. 

 Botaurm exilis (Gmel.). Least Bittern. 



One specimen was taken May 10 and another May 19, 1892 near Lebanon, 

 Ind. I am informed by Mr. J. E. Beesley that they breed in that vicinity 

 but not abundantly. Mr. W. 0. Wallace took two specimens at Wabash 

 early in May 1892. 

 Clangida kyemalis (Linn.). Old Squaw. 



Mr. Beesley informs me that a bird of this species was killed near Thorn- 

 town, in May 1892. 

 Phnlaropus lobatus (Linn.). Northern Phalarope. 



A pair taken in Boone county, June 7, 1889 (Beesley). This is the sec- 

 ond record for the state. The specimens and those of the next species 

 are probably now in the state collection at Indianapolis. 

 Phalaropus tricolor (VieilL). Wilson's Phalarope. 



A pair of these birds taken May 9, 1889 in Boone county. This is the 

 first record from that part of the state. 

 Anser albifrons gambeli. (Hartl.). American White- fronted Goose. 



One was killed April 17, 1892 near Peru. (Beesley). This is its third re- 

 ported occurrence in the state. 

 Anhinga anhinga (Linn.). Anhinga; Snake bird. 



Mr. Beesley informs me that he killed a pair of these birds on what is 

 known as the " Broad cut" of the canal just north of Indianapolis in 1858.
