RARE OR ACCIDENTAL BIRDS 25 



Painted Bunting (Passerina ciris). One specimen Sur. Coll.: Madi- 

 son, Lac qui Parle Co., May 2, 1893, Albert Lano (see Auk 

 29:247). 



Summer Tanager (Piranga rubra rubra). One specimen Sur. Coll.: 

 Pipestone Co., late May 1891, A. D. Brown. 



Cerulean Warbler (Dendroica cerulea). One specimen Sur. Coll.: 

 Waconia, Carver Co., July 16, 1898, H. W. Gleason (two seen 

 in company). Taken once at Lanesboro, Fillmore Co., May 

 5, 1887, by Dr. J. C. Hvoslef. 



Kirtland's Warbler (Dendroica kirtlandi). A single record; a male 

 taken at Minneapolis, May 13, 1892, by Dr. H. M. Guilford 

 in whose collection the specimen is still preserved (see Auk 

 10:86). 



Yellow-breasted Chat (Icteria virens virens). One Minnesota speci- 

 men Sur. Coll.: Heron Lake, Jackson Co., May 28, 1890, Thom- 

 as Miller. There are several more or less reliable published 

 records and hearsay reports of the Chat in the state, but it is 

 apparently only a very exceptional straggler into the extreme 

 southern part of our territory. 



Pileolated Warbler (Wilsonia pusilla pileolata). See Ridgway, 

 Bds. N. and M. A. pt. 2:712, 1902. Record based on speci- 

 mens in collection of National Museum taken in May at Fort 

 Snelling by Dr. Edgar A. Mearns. These two specimens may 

 be only aberrant individuals of the eastern form. 



Mockingbird (Mimus polyglottos polyglottos}. One specimen Sur. 

 Coll.: Waconia, Carver Co., May 19, 1898, H. W. Gleason. 



Tufted Titmouse (Baeolophus bicolor). There are no Minnesota 

 specimens in Sur. Coll. but there are several reliable reports. 

 Fairmount, Martin Co., winter of 1915-16, Dr. G. H. Luedtke 

 (photographs at feeding station); Luverne, Rock Co., winter 

 of 1914-15, Mrs. E. A. Brown; Minneapolis, winter of 1916-17, 

 Mrs. L. E. Horton and Mrs. J. F. Hayden; Minneapolis, 

 March 16, 1919, Mrs. Marshall Mclntire. These were all 

 single birds, seen, except in the last instance, in company 

 with Black-capped Chickadees. No summer records thus far. 



Long-tailed Chickadee (Penthestes atricapillus septentrionalis) . See 

 Ridgway, Bds. N. and M. A. pt. 3:400, 1904. This form of the 

 species is here recorded with a " ?" from the western border of 

 Minnesota, but all the specimens in the Sur. Coll. from that 

 region seem to belong to the eastern form.
