carefully compared with specimens in the Academy's collection. Dr. 

 Stone stated that it was undoubtedly one of the hybrid warblers, and that 

 it was somewhat similar to a specimen in the collection marked leuco- 

 bronchialis. — Robert Thomas Moore, Haddonfield, N . J . 



Cape May Warbler in Virginia in Winter. — On December 7, 1915, 

 about 8:00 p.m., a Cape May Warbler ( Dcndroica tigrina) was brought to 

 me alive but in a much weakened condition. According to the captor of 

 the specimen, it was secured in the morning, in the snow, being barely able 

 to flutter along. It revived considerably when taken to warmer quarters, 

 but refused to eat. On the morning following it seemed even better, and 

 ate banana from the hand. It rejected peanuts, but ate the banana 

 readily. By the following evening it seemed weaker, however, and the 

 next morning it was dead. The bird was apparently a young male, and 

 with the exception of the fact that it had but three tail feathers, the plum- 

 age was comparatively perfect. — George M. Sutton, Bethany, W. Va. 



The Occurrence of the Western House Wren on Smith's Island, 

 Northampton County, Virginia. — On May 13, 1910, I collected an 

 adult male of Troglodytes aedon parkmani at Smith's Island, Northampton 

 County, Virginia. The specimen is Cat. No. 312912, U. S. National 

 Museum. (Original number, 18946.) It was identified by Messrs. 

 Ridgway, Oberholser, and Mearns. — Edgar A. Mearns, Washington, D. C. 



Bicknell's Thrush in Northeastern Illinois. — On September 6, 

 1909, while collecting migrating warblers in the woods near Highland 

 Park I shot a rather small specimen of Hylocichla alicice, which on more 

 careful examination proves to be a typical example of Hylocichla alicice 

 Mcknelli. It is an adult male (H. K. C. No. 13169), and measured before 

 skinning: length 7 in., extent 11.5 in., wing 3.75 in., tail 2.70 in. The 

 average measurements of several males of Hylocichla alicice alicice in my 

 collection are: length 7.5 in., extent 13 in., wing 4.25 in., tail 3.25 in. The 

 only other record for the state is a specimen taken by Charles K. Worthen 

 at Warsaw, May 24, 1884 (Ridgway, Orn. 111. 1889).— Henry K. Coale, 

 Highland Park, HI. 



Additions to the Birds of Custer County, Montana. — In the months 

 of November and December, 1909, I spent some time in the extreme south- 

 eastern part of Custer County, Mont., close to the South Dakota border. 

 During this time I found tlu-ee species of birds not included in the late 

 Mr. E. S. Cameron's list of the Birds of Custer and Dawson Cos. (Auk, 

 Vol. XXIV, p. 241 to 270 and .389 to 406. Vol. XXV, p. 39 to .56.) I sent 

 these records to Mr. Cameron, who wrote me that he intended to publish 

 some additions to his list later, and would include them then. Since the 

 recent death of Mr. Cameron prevented the publication of these additions. 

 I have decided to put them on record myself.
