460 Luoyp, Ontario Bird Notes. lace 
The wings and tail are clove brown, edged with citrine above. The 
upper tail coverts show traces of xanthine orange and the rest of the upper 
parts are citrine with diffused xanthine orange, becoming bright again on 
the head. 
Stelgidopteryx serripennis. RouGH-wincep SwaLLow.— The only 
records for the Rough-winged Swallow at Toronto are given by J. H. 
Fleming (‘The Auk’, Vol. XXIV, p. 82). He has a male, taken at 
Etobicoke, on May 16, 1900, and found a pair at Black Creek, on June 12, 
1906. 
On May 21, 1915, to the north of East Toronto, I noticed a pair near a 
small pond. I obtained a male, No. 1306, and a female, No. 1305, and 
both are now in my collection. 
On May 16, 1916, I found another pair near the same place and collected 
them. One was a male and the other a female. These two birds were 
presented to the Provincial Museum, Gould Street, Toronto, and are now 
in the Museum collection. 
As this bird is apparently establishing itself further east on the north 
shore of Lake Ontario, the relative location of the above records is of inter- 
est. Etobicoke is thirteen miles west of the point where my four birds 
were taken, and Black Creek is nine miles west of the same point. 
I might say that I was actively engaged in observing and collecting birds 
to the east of Toronto where the 1915 and 1916 specimens were taken, 
during the years 1904-1908, and did much work during 1914, but no 
Rough-winged Swallows were seen. One must assume that none were 
present and that they arrived to the east of Toronto, in 1915; thus, these 
two occurrences are, at the present time, the most easterly recorded for 
Ontario. 
Vermivora peregrina. TENNESSEE WARBLER.— A male Tennessee 
Warbler in my collection, No. 1340, which I took near Toronto on May 
13, 1915, is peculiar in that several feathers of the crown have concealed 
chestnut brown centres of the same color as those in the crown-patch of 
the Nashville Warbler (Vermivora rubricapilla). Thirty-three specimens 
in the collection of Mr. J. H. Fleming, taken from most parts of the 
bird’s range, have been examined for similar concealed crown-patches, 
but none were found. Dr. Jonathan Dwight has pronounced this specimen 
unique. 
Dendroica discolor. Prair1r WarBLER.— On May 11, 1916, I found 
a Prairie Warbler in a small patch of woods that bordered the Scarboro 
Cliffs at a point a half mile east of the city limits. This specimen, which 
is a male, is now in my collection, No. 1392. Mr. J. H. Fleming records 
two previous Toronto records (‘ The Auk ’, Vol. XXIV, 84). 
Seiurus noveboracensis notabilis. GrinNELL’s WaTER-THRUSH.— 
On May 21, 1915, I took a Water-Thrush at Toronto, which Dr. Jonathan 
Dwight has identified as this species, although not typical. The specimen 
is in my collection, No. 1398. Mr. J. H. Fleming in ‘The Auk’ (Vol. 
XXV, 486-487) records three previous Ontario specimens.
