10 Stercorarius parasiticus. Parasitic Jaeger. Of regular 
occurrence, rare; adults taken June 20 , 1891 , and October 20 , 1894 ; both 
in the light phase of plumage, the latter not quite adult. I have examined 
six local specimens and as many more from other points on Lake Ontario 
and Lake Erie; the majority are immature in the dark phase, and only one, 
a Toronto bird, is in the light phase of plumage. 
A Parasitic Jaeger near Ottawa, Ontario. — A bird of the year of Ster¬ 
corarius parasiticus was brought to the undersigned during the first week 
of September, 1909 . It had been shot on the 4 th of that month on the 
Ottawa River, near where the Lievre empties into it. It was a male; the 
stomach was empty. The nearest localities given in Macoun’s latest cata¬ 
logue for this species are the Great Lakes (Fleming) and the Gulf of St. 
Lawrence (Dionne). If I remember correctly, there had been no great 
storms or other violent meteorological disturbances previous to the date 
of capture. It therefore seems somewhat remarkable that this species 
should be found in the place mentioned.— G. Eifrig, Addison, O.
