THE NATURAL HISTORY SURVEY. 89 



In the Auk, October, 1895, Vol. XII, 389, Mr. James O. Dunn, 

 of Chicago, published the following records : "While collecting 

 with Mr. Wallace Craig, September 3, 1891, I shot a male Wild 

 Pigeon in an oak grove in Chicago, near 75th Street, between 

 Stony Island Avenue and Lake Michigan. It was feeding and 

 flew up at our approach, alighting perhaps ten feet from the 

 ground, where I shot it. It was not at all wild, and was a bird of 

 the year. We saw two others in the same grove, but did not 

 secure them. 



"April 8, 1894, Mr. Edward J. Gekler saw a flock of about 

 fifteen Wild Pigeons flying while in a woods near Liverpool, 

 Indiana. 



"Mr. Kaempfer, a taxidermist of this city, had a fine male 

 Passenger Pigeon mounted on one of his shelves which was 

 brought in on March 14, 1894. The gentleman who brought it 

 said he shot it near Liverpool, Indiana, and saw quite a number 

 of them at the time." 



In the Auk, January, 1896, Vol. XIII, 81, Mr. Ruthven Deane 

 published the following record: "Mr. John F. Ferry of Lake 

 Forest, Illinois, has kindly notified me of the capture of a young 

 female which was killed in that town on August 7, 1895. The 

 bird was brought to him by a boy who had shot it with a rifle 

 ball, and although in a mutilated condition he preserved it for his 

 collection." 



Mr. Henry K. Coaie reports the following records for our 

 vicinity: "In June, 1879, I found Wild Pigeons breeding in 

 the woods along the Desplaines River west of Lake Forest ; ex- 

 amined two nests, one with two and the other with one egg. 

 On September 13, 1879, I saw a flock of these birds in the same 

 woods and took several specimens. On May 2, 1887, I saw Wild 

 Pigeons at Grand Crossing, Chicago." 



Mr. George Clingman took a male Passenger Pigeon at Bryn 

 Mawr on September 30, 1891. This locality is a suburb of the 

 city of Chicago. 



In the second edition of the A. O. U. Check-list of North
