TheOlive-siued Flvcaichkr {^Niittalloniis borealis (Svvainson)) ix 

 Warren County, Pennsylvania. — Definite records, supported by 

 specimens, of this s[)ecies in western Pennsylvania have hitherto been 

 lacking, so that the ])resent instance becomes of interest. Having 

 learned from Mr. R. 15. Simpson of Warren, that a bird, believed to 

 be the Olive-sided Flycatcher, had been seen near that place, I made 

 a special visit to the locality late in June, (1900), in search of it. 

 The exact spot, where the birds were found, was a small grove of hem- 

 lock antl other trees along the Warren and Tidioute road, near the 

 head of the west branch of Hickory Creek, and about four miles east 

 of Cobham. Here a pair of the birds were discovered, their clear 

 whistling note betraying their presence. They perched moderately 

 high, but were not shy. Both birds were brought down, but unfor- 

 tunately were not found. Another pair were met with in a similar 

 situation about one and one-half miles southeast of Thompson Station, 

 and this time both were secured. From this evidence it would seem 

 that the species is a summer visitant, not rare in this general region.

.XxoTHFR LocALri'Y FOR Pipistrelliis subflavus obscunis Miller. — This 

 bat, heretofore known only by specimens from the type locality. Lake 

 George, New York, proves to be the common form at Beaver, Penn- 

 sylvania, several examples having been secured by the writer during 

 the summers of 1899 and 1900, and having been compared with the 

 type in the Biological Survey collection. In this connection it is in- 

 teresting to note that a number of specimens procured from a cave at 

 Hillside, Westmoreland County, Pa., in Februaj-y, 1900, are true P.

Through the great kindness of Mr. Andrew Carnegie the Museum 

 has received a series of replicas of some of the ancient carvings in 

 stone, which are preserved in the Mexican National Museum in the 

 city of Mexico. The reproductions were made by Sefior Velasco, 

 and are like those which are found in the American Museum of Natural 

 History in Central Park, New York, which were made by Seilor Velasco 

 for that institution at the command of the Due de Loubat. Unfor- 

 tunately, the present limited space available for purposes of exhibition 

 will prevent the setting up in its entirety of this notable addition to
