Dendroica discolor (Vieill.). Prairie Warbler. 



Mr. Beesley took two or them at Lebanon, Ind., April 29, 1892. This is 

 the fourth locality from which they have been reported in the state and 

 the first record from the northern half. Another record however has re- 

 cently come to hand. Mr. W. O. Wallace took one specimen May 2, 1892 at 

 Wabash. 

 Dendroica tigrina (Gmel.). Cape May Warbler : 



The spring of 1892 this species was comparatively common throughout 

 the state. Only twice have they heretofore been reported in any numbers, 

 and never BO numerously as last year. 

 Ardea egretta (Gmel.). American Egret. 



Eare throughout the northern part of the state. A male in full plu- 

 mage was killed May 17, 1892 near Frankfort, Ind. Detailed information 

 regarding its breeding in the state is much desired.

 county, Ind.

 but not abundantly. Mr. W. O. Wallace took two specimens at Wabash 

 early in May 1892.

 town, in May 1892. 

 Phalaropus lobatus (Linn.). Northern Phalarope.
