77. S. ludovicianus. The Large-billed Water Thursli, I am informed by Mr. 
Kirkpatrick, visits the vicinity of Cleveland. I have never seen it in the central 
portions of the State. 
85. D. cccrulea. The Blue Warbler, usually considered a rare bird, has been 
quite numerous in the vicinity of Columbus during the past spring. I obtained 
four specimens during two hours’ shooting, and have since seen several in the 
gardens of the city. 
89. D. lurtlandii. A new species, first discovered by Prof. Kirtland, near 
Cleveland, in 1851. Mr. Winslow informs me that he has obtained a specimen 
from the same locality. These two are the only individuals discovered, unless it 
be one shot by Prof. Hoy, of Racine, Wis. 
92. D. superciliosa. The Yellow-throated Warbler has been quite common in 
this vicinity during the past spring. It seems to be quite partial to the vicinity of 
running water, and is usually seen on trees and fences near rivers. In its habits 
it approaches the titmice and creepers, frequently hanging and walking, head 
downwards, on fence rails. 
99. P. cesliva. The Summer Red Bird is seldom seen in the central portions 
of the State. I have obtained but one specimen near Columbus. Dr. Kirtland 
has procured it as far north as Trumbull county. 
101. H.lunifrons. “ Congregations of the Cliff or Republican Swallow are 
now common at the west. In the spring of 1815, a few were first seen by Audubon 
at Henderson in Kentucky. Four years after, a colony located on the United 
States buildings at Newport, opposite Cincinnati, and have more recently extended 
their settlements to several buildings in the west part of the latter city. During 
the present summer, they have built their nests on a barn in the north part of 
Columbiana county.” — Kirtland. 
About five or six years ago, a colony of these birds built their nest upon a mill 
on Alum Creek, about two miles from this city, and remained there for two or 
three years. 
104. C. serripennis. The Rough-winged Swallow, I am informed by Mr. 
Kirkpatrick, is found in great abundance on Rocky River, Cuyahoga county, when 
it breeds. I have found its nest upon the horizontal beam of a bridge in this 
vicinity. Probably not uncommon throughout the State, but overlooked on 
account of its resemblance to the Bank Swallow. 
106. A. garrulus. The Bohemian Wax Wing has often been taken in North- 
ern Ohio in severe winters. I have never seen it so far south as Columbus. 
108. C. borealis. The Northern Shrike is another of our winter visitors, but 
is never common. I have seen but a single individual in the vicinity of Columbus. 
111. V philadelphictis. This rare bird was first described by Mr. Cassin in
