RARE OR ACCIDENTAL BIRDS 25 



Painted Bunting {Passerina ciris). One specimen Sur. Coll.: Madi- 

 son, Lac qui Parle Co., May 2, 1893, Albert Lano (see Auk 

 29:247). 



Summer Tanager {Piranga rubra rubra). One specimen Sur. Coll.: 

 Pipestone Co., late May 1891, A. D. Brown. 



Cerulean Warbler (Dendroica cerulea). One specimen Sur. Coll.: 

 Waconia, Carver Co., July 16, 1898, H. W. Gleason (two seen 

 in company). Taken once at Lanesboro, Fillmore Co., May 

 5, 1887, by Dr. J. C. Hvoslef. 



Kirtland's Warbler {Dendroica kirtlandi). A single record; a male 

 taken at Minneapolis, May 13, 1892, by Dr. H. M. Guilford 

 in whose collection the specimen is still preserved (see Auk 

 10:86). 



Yellow-breasted Chat {Icteria virens virens). One Minnesota speci- 

 men Sur. Coll.: Heron Lake, Jackson Co., May 28, 1890, Thom- 

 as Miller. There are several more or less reliable published 

 records and hearsay reports of the Chat in the state, but it is 

 apparently only a very exceptional straggler into the extreme 

 southern part of our territory. 



Pileolated Warbler {Wilsonia pusilla pileolata). See Ridgway, 

 Bds. N. and M. A. pt. 2:712, 1902. Record based on speci- 

 mens in collection of National Museum taken in May at Fort 

 Snelling by Dr. Edgar A. Mearns. These two specimens may 

 be only aberrant individuals of the eastern form. 



Mockingbird {Mimus polyglottos polyglottos). One specimen Sur. 

 Coll.: Waconia, Carver Co., May 19, 1898, H. W. Gleason. 



Tufted Titmouse {Baeolophus bicolor). There are no Minnesota 

 specimens in Sur. Coll. but there are several reliable reports. 

 Fairmount, Martin Co., winter of 1915-16, Dr. G. H. Luedtke 

 (photographs at feeding station); Luverne, Rock Co., winter 

 of 1914-15, Mrs. E. A. Brown; Minneapolis, winter of 1916-17, 

 Mrs. L. E. Horton and Mrs. J. F. Hayden; Minneapolis, 

 March 16, 1919, Mrs. Marshall Mclntire. These were all 

 single birds, seen, except in the last instance, in company 

 with Black-capped Chickadees. No summer records thus far. 



Long-tailed Chickadee {Penthestes atricapilliis septentrionalis). See 

 Ridgway, Bds. N. and M. A. pt. 3:400, 1904. This form of the 

 species is here recorded with a " ?" from the western border of 

 Minnesota, but all the specimens in the Sur. Coll. from that 

 region seem to belong to the eastern form.
