Siiu-c my list of 1lu' "I'.irds of Ihe Up])er Klkhorn Valley" appeared 

 in the rroceecliiif^s of the First Annual ;\[eeting-, I have noted several 

 additional species at Xeligh. some of which are especially interesting^-. 

 They are as follows:

 seen on March 28, I'JOO. and ai;ain a lar<ie flocdv g-oini^- south across the 

 Hand Hills .Tidy ](>. H»()(). 



.■>(). fjini.s frfiiil-ruiii Sw. & Rich. — Franklin's Gull. A common migrant 

 in the spriny- of 1<»(){); April 17 to :May 17. 



?A?>. Biitco pi (I ti/ [iter us (Vieill.). — Broad-win<>ed Hawk. Four of these 

 hawks were seen and one secured April 20. 1900. The birds were flying- 

 northward at the time.

 hopper Sparrow. A single specimen was secured May 5, 1900.

 of this Towhee was taken April 27. 1900, and a number seen. 



593. Cardiiialis ninlU\<tJ\s (Linn.). — Cardinal. Mr. J. P. Campbell of 

 Newcastle, Wyo., informs me that he saw several of these birds at 

 Xelig-h in the winter of 1S9:!. As he was well acquainted with the Car- 

 dinal in the east. I have no hesitancy in accepting- his identification. 



647. HchnintlKiphila perenr'ina (Wils.). — Tennessee Warbler. A common 

 migrant in the .spring; of 1900; May 8 to 16. 



In my former paper I listed the ^leadowlark and House Wren. I 

 liave since become convinced that it is the western form of each of the 

 above-mentioned s])ecies that we have in Nebraska. Thei-e has never 

 lo my knowledge been any definite record of the taking- of either typical 

 stiiniclld iiKKiiKi or Troi/hxliitcs iiditii within the state. In the above paper, 

 iluMi, the Western Meadowla)-k (Stiir)ieJl(i nifKjiia iiej/lcctd), and Western 

 House Wren (Tro(/I<j(1jitcx (nlvn (i.ztcciiN), should be substituted.
