ia2 The Ornithology of Chester County 



Mar. 5, 1873; d. Philadelphia, Mar. 19, 1912.

 d. West Chester, Feb. 24, 1917, in his 72nd year. 



^''Alexander Wilson observed that one was shot 

 a few years ago (prior to 1814) on the borders of 

 the Schuylkill river, below Philadelphia. No doubt 

 this is the authority for TurnbuH's record. The 

 breeding female reported taken near Phoenixville, 

 was really shot near a herony on the Perkiomen 

 creek in Montgomery county, Apr. 4, 1892. It is 

 worthy of note that all these State records have 

 been made not far apart. 



*^Cf . Coues and Prentiss in their list of land birds 

 of the District of Columbia, Ann. Rep. Board of 

 Regents Smith. Inst, for the year 1861, p. 415, for 

 similar record. 



*^According to B. M. Everhart of West Chester, 

 there were seen in Chester county at irregular in- 

 tervals between 1852 and 1854 the true Aluda 

 arvensis Skylark from a flock liberated near Wil- 

 mington, Del. Cf. Warren, Bds. Pa., 1890, p. 198. 



*'Dr. Chapman in a series of 51 breeding males 

 taken at West Chester by Dr. B. H. Warren and 

 G. W. Roberts, found two specimens almost typical 

 of Q. q. aglaus Florida Crackle. Cf. Bull. N. Y.
