northern record for the species in Ontario. Its dimensions are :—length 
5.88 ; extent, 10; wing, 3.19; tail, 2.06; beak, .51. It was in fair con- 
dition, and had been feeding on grasshoppers and coleoptera—ERNEST 
E. THOMPSON. 
Arrivals &c—On May 21, at Well’s Hill I shot an adult female 
Broad-winged Hawk, Buteo Jatissimus, and secured the first Baybreasted 
Warbler, Dendroica castanea, and a Yellow-bellied Flycatcher Am- 
pidonax flaviventris.—H. H. BROWN. 
Albino Passer domesticus.—Since June 10, I have observed a 
sparrow, which is completely white, in company with others of its 
species, around the Woodbine Race Track, but as yet have not secured 
it—JAS A. VARLEY. 
June 7.—I received a Marbled Godwit Lzmosa fedoa, and a Nor- 
thern Phalarope, Phalaropus lobatus, one specimen of Black Tern, 
Hydrochelidon nigra surinamensts, and on June 14, a full plumaged 
Night Heron, Vycticorax nycticorax nevius,and White-rumped Sandpiper, 
Tringa fuscicollis, all collected on Ashbridge’s Bar.—W. CRoss. 
Towhee’s nest.—On May 25, I found a nest of Pzpzlo erythroph- 
thalmus, in Rosedale. It contained four fresh eggs and was constructed 
of grape-vine bark lined with coarse grass. 
Coccyzus americanus, in Union Station—On May 29, I was 
given a female Yellow-billed Cuckoo, which was caught about 4 a.m. 
while roosting in the Union Station; and on May 30, I received a 
Virginia Rail Rallus virginianus, caught in the same place where they 
had evidently gone to roost. 
Nests found.—On May 31, I found a nest of the Savannah Sparrow 
Ammodramus sandwichensis savanna, containing four eggs; two of 
the Sora, Porzana carolina, one containing six, and the other two eggs, 
also several nests of Red-winged Blackbirds, Age/aius phoeniceus, some 
with eggs and some with young in. June 4, one nest of Spotted Sand- 
piper, Actztis macularia, containing four fresh eggs. June 7, several nests 
of Bank Swallow, Chelidon erythrogaster, with eggs at different stages of 
incubation, and several nests of Purple Martin, Prognue sudzs, and Tree 
Swallow, Zachycineta bicolor. These two latter seem to have two nests 
containing eggs at the same time, as the boxes examined contained two 
nests and eggs each, while only one pair of each of the birds were 
observed. 
Trochilus colubris nest.—While collecting east of Toronto on June 
7,1 was attracted by a Humming Bird which was flying around my head ;
