HYPOTHETICAL. 227 
in Franklin county, Indiana, which borders Ohio. The 
map in the Auk, 1891, by Hasbrouck, illustrating the present 
and former range of this bird in the United States, is made 
to cover the extreme southwest corner of Ohio. We shall 
probably never have positive evidence of its occurrence 
in Ohio. 
15. (466a.) EMPIDOMAX TRAILLII ALNORUM  Brewst. 
. Alder Flycatcher. 
Faades Wilson Bulletin, No. 20, 1898, 37. 
This subspecies was elaborated after Dr. Wheaton’s 
time. While it has not been reported hy any ornithologists 
in the state, there can be no reasonable doubt that it mi- 
‘grates across regularly. No doubt a critical examination of 
specimens in the local collections throughout the state will 
Feveal specimens of this form now supposed to be trailli. 
14. -(597,) GUIRACA CRULEA ae 
am Blue Grosbeak. 
Reported at College Hill, Cincinnati, June 12, 1899, by 
‘Laura Gano. No specimen was secured. It seems likely 
that it may ocasionally reach our southwestern, border. 
15. (601.) Cyanospiza ciris (Linn.). 
Painted Bunting. 
Réported from Sandusky by Prof. E. L. Moseley. No 
specimen was secured. This record, if authentic, would 
seem to be-a case of escaped cage-bird. It is likely that 
wariderers may sometimes reach the vicinity of Cincinnati. 
16. (6%5a.) SEIURUS NOVEBORACENSIS NOTABILIS 
(Ridgw.). 
Grinnell Water-Thrush.., 
Synonyms: Seiurus neevius notabilis. 
Having been: found at Brookville, Indiana, not far from 
our western border, it is entirely possible that it may be 
found.in the western part of the state.
