88 Fleming, Birds of Toronto, Canada. [jan 



records all refer to the Alder Flycatcher, but I took what I believe was 

 this species once at Toronto, but the specimen was lost by the taxidermist 

 who skinned it. 



24. Euphagus cyanocephalus. Brewer's Blackbird. — ■ I have a 

 specimen that is said to have been taken here. 



25. Linota cannabina. European Linnet. — Two specimens were 

 seen in a flock of English Sparrows in January, 1890, by Mr. Wm. Loan, 

 who took one alive. This bird was identified by Mr. Ernest Seton who 

 says, "The question how the birds came here is not easily answered for 

 this could not have been a cage bird escaped, as its breast still bore the rosy 

 tinge that is so soon lost in captivity." 1 



26. Helminthophila chrysoptera. Golden-winged Warbler. — Two 

 taken at Hamilton; 2 one in the Holman collection was no doubt taken 

 here. 



27. Icteria virens. Yellow-breasted Chat. — Mr. John Boyd, of 

 Sarnia, has a specimen which he believes was taken at the Humber in 1889, 

 but he was never able to trace the bird back to the original collector. 



28. Wilsonia mitrata. Hooded Warbler. — One in the Holman col- 

 lection, and one in the Allen collection, were no doubt taken here, one 

 taken at Hamilton. 3 



29. Protonataria citrea. Prothonotary Warbler. — A female 

 taken at Hamilton May 23, 1888, by Dr. K. C. Mcllwraith; it has been 

 seen here at least once. 



30. Mimus polyglottos. Mockingbird. — The Hamilton record given 

 by Mcllwraith 4 is not altogether satisfactory, and Mr. C. W. Nash, who 

 was familiar with the time and place of the record, is doubtful if the bird 

 was correctly identified. 



31. Hylocichla fuscescens salicicola. Willow Thrush. — I have 

 one, from the McB wraith collection, taken at Hamilton, May 16, 1895, 

 but it has not yet been detected here. 



32. Hylocichla alicise bicknelli. Bicknell's Thrush. — Mr. Ridgway 

 has recognized one bird from Toronto, and two from Hamilton as inter- 

 mediate in size between this form and alicios, but near bicknelli in color. 



Extralimital List. 5 



1. Grus americana. Whooping Crane. — One taken at Yarker in 

 the county of Addington, September 27, 1871, is still in the possession 

 of Mr. John Ewart. 8
