W. S. Blatchley, State Geologist, has a photograph taken the past fall 

 of a bird of this species in the possession of J. W. Sampson, Farmersburg, 

 Sullivan County, Indiana. Mr. Sampson writes that another was killed 

 at Blackhawk, about six miles east of Farmersburg, about the same time.

A fine specimen seen in the window of the Starr Piano Co., Richmond, 

 Ind. t was killed by Mr. Edgar Moon near Bowersville, Greene County,

Ectopistes migratorius. Passenger Pigeon; Wild Pigeon. 

 — Joseph F. Honecker reports seeing a Wild Pigeon with young, 

 near Haymond, in Franklin County, the spring of 1905. There 

 is another record of the capture of a specimen in Shelby County. 



Dendroica vigorsii. Pine Warbler. — C. P. Smith, during 

 the summer of 1904, visited the sand-dunes near Michigan City. 

 There among the pine trees he found Pine Warblers. They were 

 fairly common June 19-23. Though the birds were in full song, 

 he did not find the nest. He describes the song as very similar to 

 that of a Chipping Sparrow, in fact, so similar that he was deceived 

 by it at first. . The preceding summer (1903) the same observer, 

 while studying the biology of the State Forest Reserve, at Henry- 

 ville, saw Pine Warblers three or four times among the pine covered 

 ' knobs.' The last of July he found adults feeding young that 

 were practically full grown. They doubtless nested there. 



Pelidna alpina pacifica. Red-backed Sandpiper; American 

 Dunlin. — A specimen taken October 11, 1905, from a flock of 

 shore birds at a pond in Marion County, north of Indianapolis, 

 was presented to me by Philip Baker. This is the first fall record 

 for this vicinity. 



iEgialitis meloda circumcincta. Belted Piping Plover. — 

 A fine group of these birds with four eggs, in the collection of the 

 Chicago Academy of Sciences, was taken at Miller's, Indiana, 

 June 13, 1905 (F. M. Woodruff).
