200 STEJNEGER, New Shecres of Gutllemot. Bee 
ago, one spring, he took 19 Bohemian Waxwings in one day near the 
latter ‘city. They were in one flock and were flying forward and backward 
over White River catching insects after the manner of Flycatchers. 
7. Ionornis martinica. PURPLE GALLINULE.— Prof. E. L. Moseley 
informs me of the capture, near Sandusky, O., of a Purple Gallinule 
April 28, 1896. Although it has several times been reported from that 
State, I believe this is the first time its capture in the vicinity of Lake 
Erie has been noted. 
8. Buteo borealis harlani. HARLAN’s HAawk.— Mr. R. B. Williams, 
Lebanon, Ind., has in his possession a fine specimen of this Hawk. It 
was shot and its wing broken, by Mr. W. H. Moler of the same city, in 
Perry Township, Boone County, Indiana, in September, 1887. He brought 
it while it was alive to Mr. Williams, who mounted it. This is the first 
record of the Black Hawk from Indiana. In Illinois, Mr. C. K. Worthen 
shot one of a pair on the Mississippi River near Warsaw, Hancock 
County, in 1879. I have in my collection the skin of a specimen taken 
several years ago by Mr. W. S. Everhart of Toledo, Cumberland County, 
Ill., in that county, and by him presented to me. 
g. Fregata aquila. MAN-o’-war Birp.—I had the pleasure last fall of 
examining in the office of Mr. J. E. Beasley, the well known taxidermist 
at Lebanon, Ind., a fine specimen of a young male of this species. It was 
killed by Mr. W. S. Patterson, near Shelbyville, Ind., July 14, 1896, and 
the next day was received by Mr. Beasley. The following are the mea- 
surements taken from the mounted specimen. Length, 36 in.; wing, 
24 in.; tail, 16 in.; depth of fork, 7 in.; bill, 4.25 in. This is the first 
record for Indiana. The only other record for the Ohio Valley is a 
specimen taken in Fairfield County, O., in the spring of 1880 (Dayie, 
Nests and Eggs of N. A. Birds, 1889, pp. 59, 60). 
DESCRIPTION OF A NEW SPECIES OF GUILLEMOT 
FROM THE KURIL ISLANDS. 
BY LEONHARD STEJNEGER.

WHILE visiting some of the Middle Kuril Islands during the 
summer of 1896 I was much puzzled by a black-winged Guille- 
mot, which at first I mistook for Pallas’s Cepphus carbo, especially
