106 THE WILSON BULLETIN— June, 1921 



savanna were collected March 19, April 9 and 20 and October 5- 

 and 19. Savannah Sparrows neither breed nor winter at Lincoln, 

 but they summer occasionally at Omaha and may breed there. I. S. 

 Trostler has stated that they breed at Omaha uncommonly, June 1 

 to 12. Our field data shows them as appearing in the spring at 

 Lincoln March 17 to 30 becoming abundant April 1 to May 12, 

 and then scatteringly present until May 27. In the fall they re- 

 appear September 5 to 30, are abundant October 1 to 20, and then 

 in declining numbers to November 7. With little doubt these dates 

 apply chiefly to ncvadcHsis. 



Our specimens indicate P. s. savanna as a migrant in eastern 

 Nebraska west to Lincoln, appearing about as early as nevadensis 

 (Dunbar, Nebr., March 19). No specimens of savan)ia from west 

 of Lincoln have been examined. In the irrigated North Platte 

 valley of western Nebraska P. s. nevadensis summers (Mitchell, 

 July 7), and probably breeds in the grassy margins of the seepage 

 ponds there, but no nests have been found. 



We must, therefore, revise our previous idea of the distribu- 

 tion of Nebraska Savannah Sparrows somewhat. P. s. savanna is 

 evidently a rather uncommon migrant and possible breeder in 

 eastern Nebraska, occurring west only to about the 97th meridian, 

 while P. s. nevadensis is an abundant migrant over the state, sum- 

 mering and pi'obably breeding westwardly.

NOTESHERE AND THERE 



Conducted by the Secretary 



The Secretary would appreciate receiving the names of all 

 those having a complete, or nearly complete file of Wilson Club 

 publications. Due to the limited circulation of early volumes it is 

 likely that there are fewer complete sets in existence than of the 

 A. 0. U. or Cooper Club publications. Our Editor has a small stock 

 of back numbers on hand which may be ordered from him for 

 completing files. 



The Indiana Audubon Society has put itself into more tangible 

 form by issuing the first of what is planned to be a series of 

 bulletins. We understand that credit for this first number, issued 

 in March, is chiefly due to Mr. Frank C. Evans, the Secretary. Its 

 24 pages contain a number of articles of merit, appropriately illus- 

 trated and typographically attractive as well. 



Dr. Albert H. Wright of the Cornell Zoological Laboratory, and 

 co-author, with Mr. Francis Harper, of a paper on the " Birds of 

 the Offekinoke Swamp," in Georgia, is spending the spring again 

 in the swamp. He is supplementing his previous studies as a ba-
