142.f tJ'iraniia cryt-linnnelax. Scarlet Tanager. 



We have found the Scarlet Tanager common on all May visits. In 

 the fall it has not been as numerous as the abundance of other 

 species would lead us to anticipate. From September 4 to l."i. 100.". we 

 saw but five, all on the 5th. The next year one was seen September 

 1 and none on the succeeding visit in the middle of the same month. 

 However, on October 14 three were secured or taken. In 1007 from 

 August 2G to September 2 one or two were noted each day. In all 

 probability it is a more or less common summer resident. 



1 :;. * Pro cine xnbix. Purple Martin. 



The Purple Martin has always been present on the occasions of 

 our May trips about the streets of Leamington, where a colony >c 

 colonies continue to hold out. Swales, in his trip from May 1 to 4. 

 1008. discovered from ten to several there, while at the same time 

 they had not arrived in any numbers In Detroit. Our fall dates have 

 usually been a little late for this species, which usually leaves these 

 localities before the end of August. 



In the fall of 1005 Lynds Jones' work among the outlying islands 



tOwing to a mistake of the writer, the numbering of some >i tin- 

 last species in the previous installment of this list is incorrect. This 

 is the proper number of (his species in its sequence in the list.
