In the fall of 1884 the last Redstart was seen at Mount Carmel, Mo., 
September 11. 
In the spring of 1885 Redstarts were reported from San Antonio, 
Tex., April 28; Gainesville, Tex., May 8; Emporia, Kans., May 11; and 
Manhattan, Kans., April 22. So much for the regularity of its Western 
record. The rest of the notes were scarcely more regular. At Reeds, 
Mo., the first was seen April 4; at Saint Louis, Mo., April 20 (with the 
bulk of males and first female April 27); Paris, Ill., April 28; southern 
Jowa, and Chicago, Ill., May 5. The rest of the timbered portion of the 
district to latitude 45° was reached May 14 and May 15; and May 18 
one was seen at White Earth, Minn. Such are the outlines, but the de- 
tails are not arrangeable. 
Tn the fall of 1885, at Grinnell, Iowa, the last Redstart was seen Sep- 
tember 28; at Mount Carmel, Mo., September 20; and at Saint Louis, 
Mo., where they had been numerous September 17, the last was seen 
September 29. The first migrant reached San Angelo, Tex., September 
11. In Concho County, Tex., it is aa abundant fall migrant.

North America, all the 1884 notes concerning it came from the region 
west of the Mississippi. In the spring of 1884it arrived at Gainesville,
