21st 3 Pelicans (Pelccaniis erytlivorhynchos) were seen at the same 

 ditch, where seen two years ago, and on August 2Tth, 1911. a fine 

 male subadult was taken at the Grand Reservoir in Mercer Co. 

 and is now in my collection. A female of Buteo Uneatiis. shot Sep- 

 tember G, 1911, had in its craw and stomach G Katydids. 1 Pero- 

 myscus leucopus uovebaracensis and a young snake about 25 ctm. 

 long. 



The last specimen of Pisohla maciiJata was taken November 1, 

 1911. 



On November 17, 1911, a farmer living four miles west of New 

 Bremen brought in a fine live female juvenile of Buteo borealis 

 caluriis. This is the second record only for the state and the speci- 

 men seems to agree closely with the one in the O. S. U. mu?eum. 

 It is now No. 1018 of my collection. The same date brought in 

 the last Alias nihripci from the Loramis Reservoir. Robins, Mea- 

 dowlarks and Towhees were observed all winter at various times, 

 and as my work took me over my entire parish of 50 miles in the 

 severest weather, with the thermometer as low as 25° below zero, 

 I can say that frozen apples hanging to the trees were the prin- 

 cipal food of the Robins, while Meadowlarks found food in the horse 

 dung on the roads, but it remained a mystei"y what the Towhees 

 lived on. There seemed to be no diminution of Bluebirds and 

 Robins in the spring of 1912. On February 11, 1912. a pair of 

 Harchhi liycmalis were shot on the Grand Reservoir. Ohio orni- 

 thologists mfiy be interested in the fact that a Kirtland's Warbler 

 male, taken May 15, 1909, at Catawba Point, Ohio, was received 

 by me in exchange for one taken in Michigan, through the cour- 

 tesy of Mr. Norman A. Wood, so that this specimen has come 

 back to the state where it was originally taken.

A FEW STARK COUNTY, OHIO, NOTES. 



Within the last year several new species have been added to 

 the recorded list for this territory, and several additions to the roll 

 of summer residents have been made. Among the former can be 

 noted the Yellow Palm Warbler, a flock of seven individuals be- 

 ing recorded for October 8. 1911. (Specimens needed. — Ed.) 



Twice last fall Holboell's Grebe was found on Meyers' Lake, 

 near here. A\T3ile observing it on the first occasion, it was amusing 

 to watch the efforts of several boys in a canoe who sought to ex- 

 haust this " duck " — as they called it — by constant following it 

 about. But its dives were of such long duration and of such un- 

 certain direction that it was the boys' patience that became ex- 

 hausted, and soon led to giving up the fruitless effort.
