96 (442). Fork-tailed Flycatcher. Milvulus tyran- 



nus {Linn.). 



Merely accidental. Dr. C. C. Abbott writes me that an individual 

 was taken in this section last autumn (1900), and is now mounted and 

 in the store at the comer of Broad and Liberty streets, Trenton, New 

 Jersey. 



97 (443). SCISSOR-TAILED FLYCATCHER. MilvuluS for- 



ficatus [Gmel.'). 



Merely accidental. According to Dr. C. C. Abbott, in his list of 

 Mercer County Birds, a single specimen was secured by him in this sec- 

 tion, April 15, 1872, and is now in the collection of the Academy of 

 Science at Salem, Massachusetts. 



98 (444). Kingbird. Tyrannus tyrannus {Linn.). 



An abundant summer resident. The majority arriving about May 

 I, at once repair to the neighborhood of the Millstone, only a small per- 

 centage remaining in the orchards. On June 6, i8g8, I found seven 

 nests containing eggs, all in trees overhanging the river. There ap- 

 peared to be a great difference in the materials used in construction.

 have departed for the south. 



99 (447). Arkansas Kingbird. Tyrannus verticalis 



Say. 



A rare straggler from the west. Prof. Phillips took one of this 

 species, September 29, 1894, which is now No. 7 of his collection. 

 This is the only record of its occurrence here. 



100 (452). Great Crested Flycatcher. Myiarchus 

 crinitus {Linn.). 



A common summer resident. At first frequenting the fields, toward 

 the middle of May these flycatchers take to the orchards, preparatory 

 to breeding. In this locality the eggs are laid early in June, the old
