while out shooting 1 secured a Flycatcher which proved to be of the 

 above rare species (Contopus borealis). This is the second record for 

 Toronto. — James H. Fleming. 



77. A supposed Loggerhead at Toronto— On May 18, 



while out west of the city, in a scrubby corner of an open field, I 

 found a Shrike's nest with three eggs in it, and afterwards shot both 

 birds, finding in the female a fully formed egg. These birds did 

 not seem to be our usual form Lanius ludovicianus excubitorides, but 

 rather the true ludovicianus of the South. — James R. Thurston.
