Type of the species.

9. Mr. Covert’s specimen above recorded. 
Three or four others, I belit-ve, have been noted, but were not secured. 
This bird and Helminthophciga leucobronchialis have about an even 
record. — H. A. Purdie, Newton , Mass. 
Correction. — In the January number of the Bulletin (Yol. IV, p. 60) 
I noted the capture of the Western variety of the Yellow Red-poll Warbler 
in Massachusetts, and through inadvertence gave the varietal name as 
“ Dendrcec.a palmarum liypoclirysea , ” instead of D. palmarum var. pal- 
marum. — Rutiiven Deane, Cambridge, Mass. 
Rare Birds in Michigan. — May 20, 1879, Dr. H. A. Atkins of 
Locke, Ingham Co., Mich., shot a fine specimen of the Connecticut 
Warbler ( Oporornis agilis). May 22, 1879, I shot a male of this species 
in Ottawa Co. These are the only instances of the capture of this rare 
Warbler in the State, to my knowledge. 
May 26, 1879, Dr. R. M. W. Gibbs collected a nest and two eggs, with 
the female bird, of the Prairie W^arbler ( ' Dendrceca discolor ) in Ottawa Co. 
May 21, 1879, Dr. Gibbs shot a male Olive-sided Flycatcher ( Contopus 
borealis ) in a heavy pine forest in the same county. — Charles W. Gunn, 
Grand Rapids, Mich. 
The Loggerhead Shrike breeding in Maine. — In the issue of 
“ Forestand Stream ” (New York paper) for April 3, 1879, I first recorded 
the interesting fact that Lanius ludovicianus nested at Bangor, Me. Inci- 
dentally I spoke of a nest and eggs of the Great Northern Shrike ( L . bore- 
alis) from the same locality, but I have since ascertained that in all 
probability these also were those of the Loggerhead. See the above-named 
paper of May 8, 1879, for a correction. Under date of May 20, 1879, 
Mr. E. S. Bowler writes me that alreadv this season he has discovered 
%> 
two nests of ludovicianus, thus apparently showing the bird to be a perma- 
nent breeder in that section. From Mr. J. N. Clark of Saybrook, Conn., 
I have record of two Loggerheads shot there, one in November, 1878, the 
other in January, 1879.
