GENERAL NOTES. 



Brunnich's Murre in Michigan. — On the morning of December 13, 

 1894, a Brunnich's Murre {Uria lomvia), in dying condition, was picked 

 up on the Flat River, a small stream near the city of Greenville, Michigan. 

 It came into the hands of Mr. Percy Selous, a naturalist and taxidermist 

 of that place, who subsequently sent it to me for inspection, and eventually 

 presented the specimen, well mounted, to the State Agricultural College. 

 Mr. Selous writes me that the bird, an immature male, was greatlv 

 emaciated, and was dead, though not really cold when he obtained it,, 

 probably not more than an hour or two after its capture. This, I believe,

 less reliable reports of capture of other members of the family within the 

 State. — ■ Walter B. Barrows, Agricultural College, Mick.

 been known only from the unique type taken at Socorro Island by Chas.

 island situated about six miles from Isle au Haut, for the purpose of col-
