belongs to a lighthouse keeper, whose name he does not know, at the 
St. Clair Flats. Evidently both specimens are Uréa lomvia. It is possi- 
ble a careful examination of the specimens will show that these also belong 
to this species. 
Briinnich’s Murre has, as I have been informed, been reported the 
present winter from other interior localities. It has I believe, however, 
never before been authentically reported far from the ocean. Mr. Robert 
Ridgway informs me that they have this winter ranged down the Atlantic 
coast as far as South Carolina. It would seem probable that some storm 
had driven them far out of their usual range. Evidently those noted 
herein were carried inland and dispersed about the same time, perhaps by 
the same storm. They were all taken withina few days. Only twenty-one 
days elapsed from the date when the first was obtained until the last was 
in the hands ofa naturalist. This is its first record from Indiana, except 
that reported by Mr. Warner which, unfortunately, is not verified by the 
specimen. It will be of interest to hear of other records of the occurrence 
of this species inland. It will be noted that there is aspecimen preserved 
in a public museum in Indiana and in Michigan to verify the records from 
those States. It is to be hoped that one of the Ohio specimens may be 
secured for a like purpose. 
2. Numenius longirostris. LONG-BILLED CuRLEW.— Last fall there 
was a specimen of this bird in the store of Mr. Fletcher M. Noe, Indian- 
apolis, which he informed me was taken by Mr. Herman Eckert, Apr. 2, 
1896, in a swamp near Jasper, Dubois County. Mr. Frank M. Woodruff, 
notes a specimen from Liverpool, Ind., in his collection, in ‘The Auk’ 
for April, 1896, p. 181. 
3. Macrorhamphus griseus. DowircHer.— Mr. F. M. Woodruff 
writes me that he has a bird of this species in his collection taken at 
Liverpool, Ind., Sept. 9, 1892. When shot it was flying alone over the 
Little Calumet River. First Indiana record. 
4. Tringa canutus. Kwnotr.—To Mr. F. M. Woodruff I am indebted for 
the first record of its occurrence in Indiana. He informs me that he 
found a single specimen in a flock of Sandpipers on the beach near 
Millers, Lake County, Indiana, Aug. 24, 1896. The specimen is “in 
the light grayish juvenile plumage, with scale like markings on the back 
of pure white.” 
5. Tringa bairdii. Barirp’s SANDPIPER.—The first specimen of 
Baird’s Sandpiper, so far as is known, that was taken in Indiana was 
obtained by Mr. W. O. Wallace at Wabash, Ind., Aug. 26, 1893. Mr. 
Woodruff writes me that among a flock of Sandpipers seen at Millers, 
Ind., Aug. 24, 1896, there were several, probably five, of these birds. From 
Michigan there are but two records (The Auk, April, 1896, p. 174 and 
July, 1896, p. 225). From Ohio there are perhaps a half dozen records 
(Wheaton, Birds of Ohio, 1882, p. 473-475). 
6. Ampelis garrulus. BOHEMIAN Waxwinc.— Mr. J. E. Beasley, of 
Lebanon, Ind., who formerly lived in Indianapolis, says about forty years
