Ohio. 



Original description, wherein Prof. Baird dedicated the bird 



to J. P. Kirtland of Cleveland, not because he collected it, as has 



been uniforml}' but incorrectly stated, but because to him "we 



are indebted for a knowledge of the Natural History of the 



Mississippi Valley." 

 i860. Kirkpatrick, J. [?]. Ohio Farmer, IX, iS6o, 179. — Collected by — 



Darby, May (.?), 1S60, Cleveland, Ohio. A specimen is also 



said to have been shot by Wm. Case but to have been too badly 



injured to be preserved. (See Wheaton, Birds of Ohio, 264). 

 1865. Ba£RD, S. F. Rev. N. A. Birds, 206.— Collected by S. Cabot, Jr.,

This specimen was doubtless in existence ten years before the 



discovery of the tj-pe, having probably been secured by Cabot 



on his voyage to Yucatan about 1840.

This is the most northern record for the species. The bird 

 was killed by striking the lighthouse on Spectacle Reef, and 

 was doubtless therefore en route to a more northern locality.
