 some years after the type specimen was described. 



2. Male, taken by Dr. J. P. Kirtland near Cleveland, O., May 13, 1851. 

 Type of the species. 



3. Female, obtained by R. K. Winslow near Cleveland, O., in June, 

 18G0. 



4. Male shot by Charles Dury at Cincinnati, O., the first week in May, 

 1872.

 Rockport, Cuythoga Co., O., May, 1878. 



8. Female, collected by Charles B. Cory on Andros Island, Bahamas,

9. Mr. Covert's specimen above recorded. 



Three or four others, I believe, have been noted, but were not secured. 

 This bird and Helminthophaga leucohronchialis have about an even 

 record. — H. A. Purdie, Newtrm, Mass. 



Correction. — In the January number of the Bulletin ("Vol. IV, p. 60) 

 I noted the capture of the Western variety of the Yellow Red-poll Warbler 

 in Massachusetts, and through inadvertence gave the varietal name as 

 " Dentlrceca palmnrum hi/pochrt/sea, " instead of D. palmarutn var. pal- 

 marum. — Rutiiven Deane, Cambridge, Mass. 



Rare Birds in Michigan. — May 20, 1879, Dr. H. A. Atkins of 

 Locke, Ingham Co., Mich., shot a fine specimen of the Connecticut 

 Warbler (Oporornis agilis). May 22, 1879, I shot a male of this species 

 in Ottawa Co. These are the only instances of the capture of this rare 

 Warbler in the State, to my knowledge. 



May 26, 1879, Dr. R. M. W. Gibbs collected a nest and two eggs, with 

 the female bird, of the Prairie Warbler (Dendirrca discolor) in Ottawa Co. 



May 21, 1879, Dr. Gibbs shot a male Olive-sided Flycatcher (Contopus 

 horealis) in a heavy ])ine forest in the same county. — Charles W. Gunn, 

 Grand Rapids, Mich. 



The Loggerhead Shrike breeding in Maine. — Tn the issue of 

 " Forest and Stream " (New York paper) for April 3, 1879, I first recorded 

 the interesting fiict that Lanius ludoiuciamts nested at Bangor, Me. Inci- 

 dentally I spoke of a nest and eggs of the Great Northern Shrike (L. hore- 

 alis) from the same locality, but I have since ascertained that in all 

 probability these also were those of the Loggerhead. See the above-named 

 paper of. May 8, 1879, for a correction. Under date of May 20, 1879, 

 Mr. E. S. Bowler writes me that already this season he has discovered 

 two nests of ludooicianus, thus apparently showing the bird to be a perma- 

 nent breeder in that section. From ]\Ir. J. N. Clark of Saybrook, Conn., 

 I have record of two Loggerheads shot there, one in November, 1878, the 

 other in January, 1879.
