Notes on Inprana Birps. 
By Amos W. ButTLeEr. 
The following notes are given here in order that they may be placed 
on record. In them are included such records of special interest as have 
been brought to my attention since the publication of my report on ‘‘The 
Birds of Indiana,’ at the beginning of 1897. In them, it will be observed, 
are added two species to the list of birds of this State. These are the 
Caspian Tern and Bachman’s Warbler. There are also some interesting 
notes on the appearance of the Wild Pigeon. 
AYTHYA VALLISNERIA (Wils.). 
Canvas-back Duck.—A male and female were killed in the marsh at 
English Lake, Indiana, November 4, 1899. Never known to have been 
taken there in the fall before. 
A single one was seen at the same place November 24, 1899. (Ruthven 
Deane.) 
CLANGULA HYEMALIS (UINN.). 
Old Squaw Duck.—February 12, 1899, a flock of thirteen Old Squaws 
alighted in the water where ice was being cut at Hnglish Lake, and all 
were killed. (Ruthven Deane.) 
October 29, 1889, a specimen was taken at Calumet Heights, Indiana. 
This is a very early record. 
LOXIA CURVIROSTRA MINOR (BREHM). 
American Crossbill.—Dr. Stanley Coulter reports at least two dozen on 
Purdue University Campus November 38, 1898-
