122 The Ornithology of Chester County 
Mar. 5, 1873; d. Philadelphia, Mar. 19, 1912. 
39Francis Windle, b. West Marlborough Twp.; 
d. West Chester, Feb. 24, 1917, in his 72nd year. 
40Alexander Wilson observed that one was shot 
a few years ago (prior to 1814) on the borders of 
the Schuylkill river, below Philadelphia. No doubt 
this is the authority for Turnbull’s record. The 
breeding female reported taken near Phcenixville, 
was really shot near a herony on the Perkiomen 
creek in Montgomery county, Apr. 4, 1892. It is 
worthy of note that all these State records have 
been made not far apart. 
41Cf, Coues and Prentiss in their list of land birds 
of the District of Columbia, Ann. Rep. Board of 
Regents Smith. Inst. for the year 1861, p. 415, for 
similar record. 
42 According to B. M. Everhart of West Chester, 
there were seen in Chester county at irregular in- 
tervals between 1852 and 1854 the true Aluda 
arvensis Skylark from a flock liberated near Wil- 
mington, Del. Cf. Warren, Bds. Pa., 1890, p. 198. 
4831TDr. Chapman in a series of 51 breeding males 
taken at West Chester by Dr. B. H. Warren and 
G. W. Roberts, found two specimens almost typical 
of Q. q. agleus Florida Grackle. Cf. Bull. N. Y.
