SUPPLEMENTAL LIST. 



1. [51] Larus argentatus (Brumi). Herring Gull. 



Very probably seen by J. J. Batchelor, April, 1902. See note under 

 L. Philadelphia in main list. 



2. [208] Rallus elegam Aud. King Rail. 



Rare migrant in Brown County (B. M. K. '94). Will probably 

 be found to have the same rank in avifauna of this county. 



3. [226] Himantopus mexicanus (Mull. ). Black-necked Stilt. 



C. H. Bollmann gives a queried record for Monroe County in his 

 list of 1886, and ranks it as rare. It has not otherwise been recorded 

 in the State. 



4. [305] Tympanuchus americanus (Reich. ). Prairie Hen. 



Given in C. H. Bollmann's list of 1886 as one of the birds which 

 had to his knowledge been found in the county but which had disap- 

 peared. 



5. [310] Meleagris gallopavo merriami Nelson. Wild Turkey. 



A rare resident as late as 1886 (C. H. B.), when a few were seen 

 each year (W. S. B.). In 1887 B. W. Evermaun said that although 

 he had not observed it, it was still occasionally taken. In 1894 E. M. 

 Kindle wrote that it was almost if not entirely extinct in Brown 

 County. The Wild Turkey is without doubt entirely extinct in this 

 county. 



6. [315] Ectopistes migratorim (Linn. ). Passenger Pigeon. 



A rare migrant in 1886 (C. H. B.). B. W. Evermann in 1887 classed 

 it as formerly abundant but then rare. The last date at hand for 

 this county is April 18, 1885, when ten were seen by C. H. Bollmann. 

 It has been observed since that time in Brown County March 7, 1894 

 (E. M. K.); 60 were seen April 12, 1895 (V. H. B.). 



7. [382] Conurus carolinensis (Linn. ). Carolina Paroquet. 



Given the same position by C. H. Bollmann in his list of 1886 as 

 the Prairie Hen. (See above.) /'Judge A. L. Roach of Indianapolis 

 says Parakeets were common in Monroe County in 1828 when his father's 

 family moved there. The family came from western Tennessee, where the 

 bird was abundant and well known. He says they were still there
