Photo from mounted specimen by T. L. Hankinson. GENERAL NOTES. Editor of Bulletin : Dear Sir:—Allow me to add another in- stance of the capture of Uria troile to the one given in your January issue. This one is still more remarkable for the reason that it occurred on Lake Erie. December 18,1896, a Murre, Uria troile, was taken on Lake Erie, several miles out from Mentor. Two were seen, but only one taken. The specimen is in the pos- session of Mr. Henry F. Lapham, Paines- ville, Ohio. Does anyone know of another instance of this bird being observed on Lake Erie ? J. M. Keck. Mentor, O., March 3, 1897. The above specimen has been purchased by Oberlin College Museum, and found by Lynds Jones, curator, to be an immature specimen of Uria lomvia, Brunnick's Murre. (See Bulletin No. 13, Wilson Ornithological Chapter, Agassiz Association.) Uria lomvia Again. In a letter received from Mr. A. Kay, Port Sydney, Muskoka, Ontario, he reports collecting, Dec. 18, 1896, a speci- men of Uria lomvia, in a dying condition, the only one he has ever seen in that part of the country, where he has collected for twelve or fifteen vears. I secured one that was shot in the Detroit river, just below Detroit, on Dec. 19, 1896. I also know of another one being shot on the same date about eight miles below Detroit, which is now in the possession of a French- man who lives near where it was shot. The Detroit river specimens are probably part of the flock observed near Gibralter, Mich., and reported in the Bulletin of January. I cannot account for the Port Sydney specimen, as there are no large lakes or rivers near there. Have any others been observed ? It would be interesting to trace thes
