early, as old andyoun^ were gathered into large flocks when we reached 

 the island during the last week in June. 



Loxia leucoptera. — Rare summer resident. I have frequently observed 

 this species and once, July.o, 1S90, I secured a specimen. 



Spinus tristis. — Common summer resident. 



Spinus pinus. — Not observed during 1SS9 or 1S90, but fairly common in 

 large scattered flocks July 27-29, 1891. Rather more shy than in winter. 



Poocaetes gramineus. — Common summer resident in the pastures at 

 Early's farm. Not observed elsewhere. Departs for the south about the 

 middle of September. 



Zonotrichia leucophrys. — Rare migrant; one observed in the bushes 

 Aug. 12, 1SS9. 



Zonotrichia albicollis. — Abundant summer resident among the scat- 

 tered evergreens. Last observed Sept. 2-5. 



Spizella socialis. — Common summer resident. Found everywhere, but 

 not in such abundance as farther south. Departs about Sept. 12. 



Spizella pusilla. — Rather common summer resident in suitable localities. 

 Departs Aug. 10-24. 



Junco hyemalis. — Common summer resident. 



Melospiza fasciata. — Common summer resident. Still present when I 

 left. 



Pipilo erythrophthalmus. — One pair was observed during the summer 

 of 1S90, but none were seen the other years. 



Habia ludoviciana. — A young male was shot July 24, 1S90, among the 

 bushes near Early's farm. I examined an adult male said to have been 

 collected on the north shore near St. Ignace. 



Passerinacyanea. — In 1SS9 and 1S91 a common summer resident, fre- 

 quenting the scattered evergreens and bushes. In 1S90 only a few were 

 observed. Departs about the last week in August. 



Piranga erythromelas. — Rare. A female of this species was shot in the 

 oak woods Aug. 3, 18S9, but a careful search failed to disclose a male. A 

 male was observed July 17, 1S91. 



Progne subis. — Two pairs observed in 1889, four pairs in 1890, and nine 

 pairs in 1891. Breeds about the Grand Hotel. Departs Aug. 7-20. 



Petrochelidon lunifrons. — Rare in 1889, about a dozen being observed. 

 Abundant migrant in 1S90, becoming numerous Aug. 4, 5, and 6, and 

 again Aug. 20 and 21. In 1S91 they were quite common until July 29 

 when all disappeared. 



Chelidon erythrogaster. — Abundant summer resident. Breeds under 

 the wharves. The bulk departs about Aug. 5, but a few individuals are 

 seen until Sept. 7— 11. 



Tachycineta bicolor.— Abundant summer resident. Breeds abundantly 

 in boxes placed for that purpose. Straggles away anywhere between Aug. 

 7 and Sept. 3. This and the preceding occur in countless thousands, and 

 when disturbed rise in clouds. 



Qlivicola riparia. — Two individuals of this species were observed July
