The Summer Tanager in Connecticut. — An adult male Piranga rubra 
was taken here April 28, 1893. The weather was quite cold at the time. 
Although in rather poor flesh, the bird shows no signs of ever having 
been caged. — Jno. H. Sage, Portland , Conn.

Summer Redbird at Saytfnjtofc,’ Conn. — I have recently added another 
unexpected acquisition to my list of things new in a fine male specimen of 
the Summer Redbird ( Piranga rubra) which I secured here in Old Say- 
brook on the 27th of April last (1895). It seemed to be perfectly con- 
tented, as if ignorant that it had wandered off, and whistled as cheeiily 
in the cold rain storm then prevailing as if it was still under sunny skies. 
This is the first of its species that I have ever seen here.— J. N. Clark, 
Saybrook , Conn.
