114 General Notes. Ljan. 



lection, now in the Colorado Museum of Natural History, taken near 

 Breckenridge, July 5 and 9, 1877; and one taken in Deer Park, Routt 

 County, April IS, 1911, by Dr. L. J. Hersey, confirm to a great degree this 

 bird's residency in Colorado during its breeding period. 



It was, however, the pleasure of the author to remove any existing 

 doubt by collecting an adult female with one fledgling, June 24, 1912, on the 

 Grand River, in Grand County, at an elevation slightly over S000 feet. 

 The fledgling had unquestionably been raised in the immediate vicinity as 

 it was just able to support itself for short flights. I believe this is also 

 the highest altitude from which it has yet been taken. This will un- 

 doubtedly supply the evidence Mr. Sclater required to include it in his 

 list of Colorado breeding birds and save straining the point Prof. Cooke 

 mentions in ' The Condor.' ' — F. C. Lincoln, Colorado Museum of Natural 

 History, Denver, Colo. 



Harris's Sparrow in Eastern Ontario. — It gives me pleasure to record 

 the capture of the first specimen of Harris's Sparrow {Zonotrichia querula) 

 for eastern Ontario. The bird was taken from a mixed flock of Song 

 Sparrows and Juncos which were feeding in a garden on the outskirts of 

 London, Ont., about eight a. m., March 18, 1907. 



My attention was attracted by a single long drawn note of the same 

 pitch and quality as that of the White-throat ed Sparrow and on searching 

 through the flock I found this large dark-colored bird which was very soon 

 secured. It is a male in immature plumage spotted irregularly on the 

 upper breast giving a hint of the black coloration which was to come. The 

 specimen is now number 1797 in my collection. 



This species has occurred in Ohio and a number of times in Michigan but 

 has not previously been captured in lower Ontario although it is probable 

 that it is a regular migrant through the northwestern corner of the province.

Magnolia Warbler in the Coast Region of South Carolina.— On 

 October 1, 1912, 1 saw and positively identified a female Magnolia Warbler 

 (Dendroica magnolia) at the Navy Yard near Charleston, S. C. It was 

 feeding in the undergrowth in pine woods, and I was able to examine it 

 carefully at short range with my glasses. While this Warbler is an abun- 

 dant migrant in the upper counties — one hundred and fifty miles and more 

 from the coast — this is, to my knowledge, only the second record of its 

 occurrence in this region. As the specimen was not secured, this record 

 has perhaps no scientific value; and I am noting it simply as a matter of 

 interest. — Francis M. Weston, Jr., Charleston, S. C.
