I saw several birds of this species at Devils Lake and took one on May 

 21, i()2i. None were observed in other localities.

 189s, on an island in Rock Lake, Towner County. Freeman, igigi p. 15; transient 

 visitant, not often seen, May 27. 



I did not see this species in life, but at Fargo in the Agricultural College 

 Museum is a mounted bird taken there May 28, 1906, by W. B. Bell. It 

 doubtless occurs in North Dakota as a very rare migrant.

The species was seen on May 21, 192 1, at Devils Lake, where it was 

 quite common until May 30. The Williams Collection contains a specimen 

 taken at Grafton, May 25, 1921, by Henry WilHams. It occurs only as a 

 migrant in North Dakota.

 Williams Collection taken at Grafton, June i, 1918, by Mr. Williams. 



279. Dcndroica virens (Gmelin). Black-throated Green Warbler.

from first of May. Freeman, 1919, p. 15; sometimes seen along the river; May 13. 



The species was seen from May 10 to 18, 192 1, at Devils Lake, where it 

 was found on the high, stony beaches feeding among the silver-leaf bushes. 

 A specimen taken at Grafton, May 6, 192 1, by Henry WiUiams, is in the 

 Williams Collection. 



282. Sciurus aurocapilliis (Linnaeus). Oven-bird. 



Allen, 1875, p. 52; abundant in the timbered bottom lands about Forts Rice and 

 Abraham Lincoln, Morton County, and observed on Heart River, 1873, but not seen 

 elsewhere on the trip. Judd, 1917, p. 26; rare summer resident of the Turtle Moun- 

 tains. Freeman, 1919, p. 15; probably summer resident. May 12. 



The species was seen only at Cando, Towner County, June 2, 192 1, in a 

 small grove near the home of Mr. E. T. Judd. It must occur only locally 

 as a rare summer resident in North Dakota.
