the Museum of the Cook County Normal School. There is also one bird 

 in the Chicago Academy of Sciences which I shot at Mud Lake, Sept. iS, 

 1893. 



Numenius longirostris. — ] observed one of this species at South 

 Chicago. 111., in June. 1S90. It was in company with the flock of 

 C. squatarola from which I shot my specimens. I have one bird which I 

 obtained at Liverpool, Ind., about fifteen miles from South Chicago. Mr. 

 J. G. Parker, Jr., saw a pair of Long-billed Curlews feeding on the lake 

 shore at Woodlawn Park. 



Charadrius squatarola. — In June, 1S90, I shot two fine old males in full 

 breeding plumage, from a flock of about fifteen, at South Chicago, one of 

 which is in the collection of the State at Springfield, 111. I have a fine 

 large bird in the young plumage from Mud Lake, Oct. 29, 1S93. Mr. J.G. 

 Parker, Jr., and myself observed three of this species at Hyde Lake, 111., 

 in November, 1891. 



Arenaria interpres. — On a number of occasions 1 have seen this bird at 

 South Chicago, the Sag at Worth, 111., and at Mud Lake. I shot a tine 

 specimen at the latter place, Sept. 18, 1S93. Mr. J. G. Parker records one 

 from the beach of Lake Michigan at Woodlawn Park. It was in company 

 with a flock of Sanderlings. — Frank M. Woodruff, Academy of Science*.

Additions to the Avifauna of Tennessee. — The following species not 

 included in the annotated list of Tennessee birds recently published bv me 

 in the ' Proceedings' of the Academy of Natural Sciences, 1 have come to 

 notice. They comprise some which have been recorded in other publica- 

 tions of a non-scientific or inaccessible character. Further additions to 

 this list will be gratefully acknowledged and recorded bv the author. 1 

 am indebted to Mr. H. C. Oberholser for some of these references. 



1. Larus delawarensis. Ring-billed Gull. — Numerous at Open 

 Lake, Landesdale County, in November 1895, where Mr. B. C. Miles 

 procured a specimen, sending me the head and foot for identification. 



2. Otocoris alpestris subsp. ? Horned Lark. — A skin of this bird is 

 recorded in the ' First Annual [1S93] Report' of the Museum of the Illinois 

 Wesleyan University, page 16. It evidently belonged to a collection of 

 bird-skins presented to the University by Prof. G. S. Thompson, of Nash- 

 ville, Tenn., as announced on page 5 of the report. 



3. Spizella monticola. Tree Sparrow. — A specimen is recorded on 

 page 17 of the above-mentioned ' Report' and it is probably from the same 

 source as the preceding. 



4. Dendroica castanea. Bay-breasted Warbler. — This and the fol- 

 lowing two species were observed by Mr. Bradford Torrev near Chatta- 

 nooga and recorded in the 'Atlantic Monthly.' His first record for the
