Since January, 1876, several ornithological lists, of more or less impor- 

 tance, have appeared from time to time in " Forest and Stream." f While 

 our space will 'not permit of a lengthy notice of these lists, a simple enu- 

 meration of them will be useful for reference. In Volume VI, pp. 99, 

 132, 163, 214, 266, 318, 354, 402, and Volume VII, pp. 147, 164, 276, 

 Mr. Adolphe B. Covert, of Ann Arbor, Mich., has given an interesting 

 List of the Birds of Lower Michigan, including two hundred and twelve 

 species. In this list are recorded specimens of Dendrceca kirtlandi, Scolo- 

 pax rusticola (one specimen obtained by Dr. Wm. E. Lewitt, May 9, 1870), 

 and Camptolcemus labradorius (one specimen taken at Delphi Mills, 

 Mich., April 17, 1872). In Volume VI, p. 148, Mr. G. Aug. Smith gives 

 a List of the Birds of Fort Wayne, Ind., including tifty-two species. In 

 Volume VI, pp. 233, 284, 337, 402, and Volume VII, pp. 36, 52, 84, 180, 

 230, Mr. H. G. Fowler, of Auburn, N. Y., gives a Partial List of the Birds 

 of Central New York, from observation made in the counties of Cayuga, 

 Seneca, and Wayne. In this list Mr. Fowler records the capture of Quer- 

 qucdula cyanoptera on Seneca River. This, we believe, is the only record 

 for this species east of the Rocky Mountains. He also notes the occurrence 

 of Sterna fuliginosa on Owasco Lake, a specimen having been taken there
