86 PROCEEDINGS OF THE ACADEMY OF [1898. 



78. Seiurus noveboracensis. Water Thrush. 



This typical Canadian species seems to be decidedly rare, the only 

 record for the county being one immature female shot June 26, 1896. 

 This bird was secured in a dense swamp containing a sparse growth 

 of rhododendron, and had evidently been out of the nest but a short 

 time. 



79. Geothlypis trichas. Maryland Yellow-throat. 



Very common, but confined to clearings and open grounds, and 

 seldom noted in the deep woods. 



80. Sylvania canadensis. Canadian Warbler. 



Another species belonging to the Canadian fauna, and one almost 

 as abundant as D. caerulescens. It is found throughout the county, 

 in the lower and damper portions of the deep forests, generally, but 

 not always, where there is a thick growth of hemlock. 



Personally I have never detected the Redstart (Setophaga ruticilla) 

 during the breeding season in this county, but during the latter part 

 of June, 1895, I found it to be very common in portions of Wayne 

 County and at Lake Teedyuskung, Pike County. 



81. Galeoscoptes carolinensis. Catbird. 



A common species in the open country. 



82. Harporhynchus rufus. Brown Thrasher. 



Rather rare in the central and northern parts of the county, in- 

 creasing in abundance toward the southern border. Observed only 

 in scrubby fields and clearings. 



83. Troglodytes aedon. House Wren. 

 Tolerably common about houses. 



[84. Troglodytes hyemalis. Winter Wren. 



Very rare. As previously remarked, the song has been detected 

 several times during the early summer in the deep hemlock woods 

 near Dimock, and leads me to think that it probably breeds spa- 

 ringly in the wildest portions of the county]. 



The Brown Creeper, Certhia famUiaris americana, although re- 

 corded by Messrs. Dwight, Baily and Stone from Sullivan, Elk and 

 Luzerne Counties respectively, has never been observed by me in 

 Susquehanna County during the breeding season, and if it does 

 occur, must be regarded as a very rare summer resident. 



85. Sitta carolinensis. White-breasted Nuthatch. 



Very common, both in the woods and in the open country.
