A New Bird for the Kansas List
On April 12, 1913, I secured a female robin near Lawrence, Kansas, which upon examination proves to be Plunesticus m. achrusterus, a diagnosis confirmed by Mr. H. C. Oberholser. Other specimens have been collected and examined in this same locality in years past. This race seems to be a regular migrant in April, and may perhaps prove to be the breeding form in the southeastern portion of the State. The nearest point at which this bird has been recorded previously is Van Buren, Arkansas (Howell, Birds of Arkansas, Bul. 38, Biological Survey, p. 92)
