earliest in spring I have observed this bird is February 21, 1891. J. C. Wood 

 has seen it February 10, 1903. Latest arrivals March 24, in 1895 and 1896, 

 the years of the great scarcity of the species. Departs around November 1st. 

 In 1889 I noted one bird December 8th. 



ADDENDA. 



161. Meleagris gallopavo syhestris (Vieill.) Wild Turkey. — Now ex- 

 tinct. Jas. B. Purdy writes : "Formerly quite abundant, of late years entirely 

 extinct. I once found a nest, and eggs here (Plymouth) and raised some 

 young. These were very shy, especially of dogs. They would run with tame 

 turkeys during the day but retire at night by themselves to roost." 



162. Ectopistes migratorius (Linn.) Passenger Pigeon. — Once extremely 

 .numerous, now probably extinct. The last record I have been able to obtain 



is an immature bird taken September 14, 1898, at Chestnut Ridge. {Bull. 

 Mich. O. Club, iv, p. 81.) 



163. • Ceophloeus pileatus abieticola (Bangs) Northern Pileated Wood- 

 pecker. — "Formerly common, when a boy, now extinct." J. B. Purdy. J. C. 

 Wood saw one about 1886. 



164. Pinicola enuclcator leucura (Mull.) Canadian Pine Grosbeak. — This 

 bird was first taken in this section during the past winter, 1903-4. Novem- 

 ber 9th, 1903, two were shot near Detroit, and sent in to Louis J. Eppinger 

 {Bull. Mich. O. C, iv, p. 97). On March 6, 1904, I met with two in Highland 

 Park. 



165. Helminth ophila cclata (Say.) Orange-crowned Warbler. — Mr. 

 Purdy writes me that this is "an occasional migrant at Plymouth." I have 

 never seen it here.
