Reports have come recently of
two new birds new to this locality
A red-headed woodpecker was seen
Friday on Summer Street by Russell

woodpecker and the sapsucker
which are sometimes incorrectly
called "red-headed woodpeckers.
The quail, comOmnly called the
'Bobwhite," has been reported by
another observer who has lived
where these we're very common and
cannot have mistaken the call. This
is the first record of the bob-white
in this region, and it will be appre
ciated if others hearing the bird will
kindly notify the director of the
Museum
The flower record has the follow
ing new names: Sweet coltsfoot, May
IL; wild columbine, wild cherry,
May 10; tall meadow buttercup,
bishops cap, hobblebush, mouse-ear
chickweed, thyme-leaved and Buzz
baum's /speedwell, downy yellow and
