Mr. Slaughter has again kindly furnished \is with his record 

 of the birds killed by striking the city hall tower. 



Only five birds representing three species struck during the 

 spring flight, but in the fall there were seventy-three individuals 

 picked up, comprising twenty-three species, making twenty-four 

 species for the year. They were as follows, one individual strik- 

 ing on each day unless otherwise stated : 



Spring Migration. — Field Sparrow, April 26, May 5; Maryland 

 Yellow-throat, May 14, May 15; Cat Bird, May 7.

 Sept. 30; Savanna Sparrow, Oct. 1; Indigo-bird, Oct. 1, Oct. 4, 

 Oct. 7 (2); Scarlet Tanager, Sept. 22; Cedar Bird, Oct. 3; Red- 

 eyed Vireo, Sept. 23 (3), Sept. 25, Oct. 2, Oct. 4, Oct. 7, Oct. 

 8; Black and White Warbler, August 16, Sept. 22, Sept. 26; 

 Parula Warbler, Sept. 23 (8); Sept. 30 (2), Oct. 1, Oct. 3 (2),

 Thrush, Sept. 22; Gray-cheeked Thrush, Sept. 22, Sept. 29; 

 Robin, Oct. 21. 



The most interesting records are perhaps the Robin, which is 

 not supposed to migrate at night, and the Ruby-crowned Kinglet 

 on August 16, a very early date. It will be noticed that the 

 Red-eyed Vireo, Parula, and Maryland Yellow-throat still con- 

 tinue the most numerous species.
