TELMATODYTES PALUSTRIS PALUSTRIS (Wilson) : Long-billed Marsh Wren 



An immature male of the eastern race of this bird was taken 6 

 miles south of Berea on October 5. This bird agrees in color of 

 flanks with specimens of the same season from near Washington, D. C. 



TELMATODYTES PALUSTRIS ILLACUS Ridgway: Prairie Marsh Wren 



Four specimens assigned to this form were obtained, two near 

 South Carrollton on October 24, one 6 miles west of Burlington on 

 October 10, and one near Mount Vernon, Rockcastle County, on 

 October 6. It will be noted that the eastern bird was taken in the 

 same county as the one last mentioned. All specimens secured were 

 obtained during the fall migration period, so that there is no indi- 

 cation available from them as to whether they breed in this area.
