an arrangement, since three species were added to our list. 

 From the car window two others were noted, and the day's 

 work was done. A 'reckoning made the list number 113 

 species, which is one better than our best. : While it is 

 gratifying to make a new record, the day's work was far 

 from satisfying, because there were not less than 20 species 

 which ought to have been recorded and which were record- 

 ed during the next four days. The reason for the large list 

 in spite of adverse conditions, lies in the type of season and 

 conditions of weather during the preceeding three weeks. 

 In no spring since my residence in Ohio has there been 

 such a quick succession of cold and warm waves, the one 

 retarding the northward movements, the other making the 

 impatient birds push northward only to be checked and 

 held from complete migration. Lagging individuals of 

 species whose bulk had days before gone north were still 

 here, while almost all of the late migrants had appeared. 

 Taken altogether it has been a phenomenal season for the 

 migrations of the birds. We can only regret that time and 

 strength were not sufficient to search out the many species 

 here but unrecorded.
