Sayornis phcehe. — Phoebe. 



Found iQ 1910 only. The first was found at the Fishing Point 

 swamp on July 19, and one or two there in the vicinity of an old 

 ice house every time the locality was visited. The building was 

 kept locked, so there was no opportunity to explore its interior 

 for the probable nest. 

 'NuttalJomis 'borealU. — Olive-sided Flycatcher. 



One on August 23, 24, 25, 31, and September 5 ; three on Sep- 

 tember 1, and two ou September 3, 1910. Two were found on 

 August 18 and 19, 1908. The favorite place for this bird seemed 

 to be a certain dead topped tree which stood on the north edge of 

 the deciduous woods which bordered what we termed "The Su- 

 mack Park," south of the Fishing Point swamp. The birds were 

 usually first seen on this tree, but left it for some other perch 

 when we approached too near. 



Myiochaiies virens. — Wood Pewee. 



Common everywhere on all visits to the island, and singing. 

 None were seen in the act of migration. 

 Einpi(lo)iax flav'wentris. — Yellow-bellied Flycatcher. 



In 1910 only. The first, two on August 19, and thereafter some 

 were seen every day to the end of our stay. They were most nu- 

 merous during the first week in September, when a marked mi- 

 gration seemed to be in progress. They kept well down in the trees 

 and bushes, and were silent most of the time. On warm days 

 following chilly nights a few individuals were heard to sing. 



Empidonax virescens. — Acadian Flycatcher. 



Since this is not an accredited Ontario bird, except for the speci- 

 men which J. H. Fleming believes be took at Ontario, but lost by 

 the taxidermist, the complete record seems warranted. None were 

 found except in 1910, when the following records were made, all 

 for the woods on the Fishing Point, mostly near the swamp. One 

 on August 15 and 18; two on the 19th, 20th, 21st and 23d; three 

 on the 22d ; one on the 29th, 30th and 31st ; six on September 1 ; 

 four on the 2d ; two on the 3d and 5th. and one on the 6th. The 

 first noted were singing, and occasional songg were heard after- 

 ward. Specimens were taken. • 



EmpidoiHix trailU alnorum. — Alder Flycatcher. 



The A. O. U. Check-List notwithstanding, this is the form which 

 inliiil)its Oliio and Pelee Island. Specimens from central and north- 

 Ohio have been submitted to Mr. H. C. Oberholser, and all pro- 

 nounced alnorum. It was present at the Fishing Point swamp dur- 

 ing the most of our stay on the island in 1910. two or three being
