11-2 The Wilson Bulletin — No. 57. 



migration route leads up the Cuyahoga river valley, thence over 

 the divide to and down the Muskingum valley. There is no 

 unusual acciuuulation of Bobolinks anywhere in Lorain county 

 in the fall. 



The remark that the Lark Sparrow is a tolerably common 

 summer resident is out of accord with my experience in Lorain 

 county, where it is rare, as it is in Geauga and Ashtabula coun- 

 ties. There may be unusually favorable conditions for its 

 breeding near Cleveland. 



The Yellow-throated N'irco is tolerably common all summer 

 in Lorain count}-, Init the \\'hite-eyed Vireo has never been 

 taken there. 



The record of the Prothonotary Warbler at Cleveland is 

 probably the one given by Prof. A. W. Butler in "Birds ox 

 Indiana." It is unfortunate that the date is not given. There 

 are three Lorain county records. 



The Blue-winged Warbler breeds in considerable numbers 

 all about Oberlin every summer. 



The first Sycamore Warbler has yet to be found in Lorain 

 county. The local conditions seem to be unfavorable. 



This record of Kirlland's W^arbler is the fifth for Cleveland. 

 I am informed that two have been taken at Lakcwood, a sub- 

 urb, within the last five years. The conclusion that the Mus- 

 kingum and Cuyahoga valleys are a migration highway for this 

 warbler seems clear, rather than that these warblers follow 

 eastward along the south shore of lake Eric from the west end. 

 as argued by C. C. Adams. 



The statements that the Kentucky and Flooded Warblers are 

 tolerably common migrants, possibly breeding, indicate that 

 Cleveland lies in their path of migration and their rarity at 

 Oberlin indicates that they must reach that place bv means of 

 a lateral movement along the lake shore. 



Wilson's Thrush breeds regularly at Oberlin, but it is far 

 more common during the migrations.

Colymbus auritus. Horned Grebe. — Coinmon on Lake Erie in the 

 misrrations. 



Podilymbus podiceps. Pied-billed Grebe. — Common on Lake 

 Erie in the migrations. As yet I have not found it breeding.
