HYPOTHETICAL. PMG 
in Franklin county, Indiana, which borders Ohio. The 
map in the Auk, 1891, by Hasbrouck, illustrating the present 
and former range of this bird in the United States, is made 
to cover the extreme southwest. corner of Ohio. We shall 
probably never have positive evidence of its occurrence 
in Ohio. 
13. (466a.) EMPpIDOMAX TRAILLII ALNORUM  Brewst. 
Alder Flycatcher. 
Jones, Wilson Bulletin, No. 20, 1898, 37. 
This subspecies was elaborated after Dr. Wheaton’s 
time. While it has not been reported by any ornithologists 
in the state, there can be no reasonable doubt that it mi- 
grates across regularly. No doubt a critical examination of 
specimens in the local collections throughout the state will 
reveal specimens of this form now supposed to be ¢railli. 
14. (597.) GurIRACA C#RULEA (Linn.). 
Blue Grosbeak. 
Reported at College Hill, Cincinnati, June 12, 1899, by 
Laura Gano. No specimen was secured. It seems likely 
that it may ocasionally reach our southwestern. border. 
15. (601.) CyaANospiza ciris (Linn.). 
Painted Bunting. 
Reported from Sandusky by Prof. E. L. Moseley. No 
specimen was secured. This record, if authentic, would 
seem to be a case of escaped cage-bird. It is likely that 
wanderers may sometimes reach the vicinity of Cincinnati. 
16. (6%5a.) SEIURUS NOVEBORACENSIS NOTABILIS 
(Ridgw.). 
Grinnell Water-Thrush. 
Synonyms: Seiurus neyvius notabilis. 
Having been found at Brookville, Indiana, not far from 
our western border, it is entirely possible that it may be 
found in the western part of the state.
