ripini;- 1 Movers ran alon^' the iK-acb al the water's edi^e proljiiig 

 into the sand with their liiHs. It was amusing- to watcli them. 

 'lliey would run out after the receding- surf only to rush hack 

 ag-ain at the incoming wave's approach and barely escaping it. 

 Occasionallv they would be overtaken and then they would re- 

 luctantly take wing- to drop ag^ain behind the receding surf. 



WANTED. 



In attempting to determine the forms of certain of our l)irds 

 which represent the species in northern Ohio, I find myself 

 g-reatly hampered by the lack of specimens from neighboring 

 localities. I desire to examine specimens of the Empidonax 

 traillii or alnorum forms which have been collected in western 

 Pennsylvania, Ohio, IMichigan, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Wis- 

 consin, Missouri, and Kentucky. If readers of this notice have 

 such specimen's ( skins) which thev are willing to loan for a few 

 days I will gladly pay transportation both ways and guarantee 

 safe return. I also wish skins of Telmatodytes from the same 

 regions. The range of these forms has not yet been accurate- 

 ly determined. Anv aid in establishing their range will be 

 greatlv appreciated. 



Readers are also advised to» scrutinize carefully their speci- 

 mens of Agelaius phoeniceus and A. p. fortis. There seems to 

 l)e some confusion about these two forms which ma\- be elimi- 

 nated by careful study. 



Address information or specimens to Lynds Jones, Oberlin, 

 Ohio.
