Since January, 1876, several ornithological lists, of more or less impor- 
tance, have appeared from time to time in “ Forest and Stream.” t While 
our space will not permit of a lengthy notice of these lists, a simple enu- 
meration of them will be useful for reference. In Volume VI, jjp. 99, 
132, 163, 214, 266, 318, 354, 402, and Volume VII, pp. 147, 164, 276, 
Mr. Adolphe B. Covert, of Ann Arbor, Mich., has given an interesting 
List of the Birds of Lower Michigan, including two hundred and twelve 
species. In this list are recorded specimens of Dendroeca kirtlandi, Scolo- 
pax Tusticola (one specimen obtained by Dr. Wm. E. Lewitt, May 9, 1870), 
and Camptolcemus labmdorius (one specimen taken at Delphi Mills, 
Mich., Aj)ril 17, 1872). In Volume VI, p. 148, Mr. G. Aug. Smith gives 
a List of the Bird^ of Fort Wayne, Ind., including fifty-two species. In 
Volume VI, pp. 233, 284, 337, 402, and Volume VII, pp. 36, 52, 84, 180, 
230, Mr. H. G. Fowler, of Auburn, N. Y., gives a Partial List of the Birds 
of Central New York, from observation made in the counties of Cayuga, 
Seneca, and Wayne. In this list Mr. Fowler records the capture of Quer- 
quedula cyanoptera on Seneca Eiver. This, we believe, is the only record 
for this species east of the Eocky Mountains. He also notes the occurrence 
of Sterna fuliginosa on Owasco Lake, a specimen having been taken there
