FIELD NOTES. 



Anotiieh Gkkat Black-racked Gt-rx rou Omo. — Records of this 

 Gull (Lanis iiiariinis) are so unusual in the state that their publica- 

 tion is worth while. Professor J. S. lliiic reports the capture of a fe- 

 male on tlu> State University grounds, on the Olentangy river, De- 

 cember IG, 1907. All records thus far have been winter records. It 

 is a little strange that specimens have not been found along the lake 

 boi-der as well as inland. LY^'I)S Jone.s. 



Another Bri'Nnich's Mirke I^ixord for Ohio. — On about the 

 22nd of December, 1907, a fine specimen of Brunnich's Murre ( Uria 

 lomvia) was bi'ought to me. It was taken alive a few days before 

 near Jefferson, Ashtabula county, Ohio. This is the first one which 

 has come into my possession since December, 189C. The bird was in 

 excellent winter plumage, but rather thin in flesh. 



Robert J. Sim, Jefferson, Ohio. 



(A wing of this si)ecies was found on the beach of the Cedar Point 

 Sand Spit l)y the writer late in December, but no birds have been 

 seen nor any others reported from this side of Lake Erie. Reports 

 from the Canada side from Mr. P. A. Taveruer state that the birds 

 appeared in that vicinity, but were starved before the nnddle of Jan- 

 uary. These reports indicate another flight of less extent than the 

 one of 189(i.— Ed.) 



The Bohemian Waxwing at (iLEX Eli.yx, Ii.i,. — The appearance 

 here on January 22, 1908, of the Bohemian Waxwing (Aiiipclis (/ar- 

 riiltis) adds another interesting bird to the Glen Ellyn list, and mak- 

 ing, as far as I am aware of, the original records for the county as 

 well. An irregular winter visitor to this corner of the state, it has 

 been reported and taken on more than one occasion at several points 

 along the shores of Lake Michigan, years, however, usually elapsing 

 between such records. My bird was in a flock of Cedar AVaxwings 

 found feeding on the decayed and yet jiersistent fruit of the" apple 

 on our place, and which presented in their actions a most animated 

 sight.
