38 THE WILSON BULLETIN No. 59. 



in the following text. Not the least' of our indebtedness to 

 this gnitk'inan arises from the fact that he first introduced 

 us to Point Pelee. 



Mr. J. E. Keays, who accompanied the above on many of 

 his early trips and made another rather extended one in the 

 fall of 1901. 



Mr. A. B. Klugh, of Kingston, Ont., who accompanied the 

 authors on a two weeks expedition the first of September, 

 1905, and to whom special credit must be given for all the 

 botanical notes, besides others of more direct ornithological 

 interest. % 



Mr. J. H. Fleming, who accompanied the writers May 20 

 and 21, 1906, to the Point and who succeeded in making the 

 rarest record for the locality. 



Dr. Lynds Jones, who, stationed on the Islands, co-operated 

 with us on the Point in early September, 1905, and furnished 

 valuable data as to the actions of migrants as they passed 

 over the lake. 



And lastly, though not least, to the various residents on the 

 Point whose good will and kindness made our trips, if not 

 possible, at least comfortable ; and among these especially to 

 Mr. Albert Gardner, whose information on various birds we 

 have found most reliable and valuable, especially in regard to 

 the water fowl, of which it is most difficult to gather data on 

 short and desultory trips. 



That the work is far from complete will be evident from the 

 numerous gaps that exist in the list, that we have so far been 

 unable to fill from actual observation or reliable report. We 

 have allowed consistently the rule of admitting nothing, ex- 

 cept absolutely positive evidence, without giving the grounds 

 for our conclusions that the reader can judge their 

 weight for himself. In nearly all cases specimens have been 

 taken or examined by the writers and in all important records 

 the location of the specimen has been definitely determined so 

 that the identifications can be at any time verified. Many of 

 the shortcomings of the list must be charged against the in- 

 termittent character of the work done at the Point and that 

 this may be duly allowed for we Append the list of visits made
