list that day. Two days later, while upon the HoUister knob, an un- 

 familiar bird song diverted my attention from stuffing plants and leaves 

 into my "botany-can," and, forgetting my botanical work for a few mo- 

 ments, I turned aside to seek the singer. The song ceased upon my 

 intrusion, but after a sliort search, I spied a family of four small dull- 

 colored warblers which seemed not anxious to make my acquaintance. 

 As I had no means of getting one of these into my hand, I was about to 

 pass the group by as too imcertain of identification for recording, when 

 a male Pine Warbler, as easily recognized, joined them and showed him- 

 self to be no stranger amongst them. Thou resemblances in plumage 

 were noted whicli removed all doubt on my pai't as to the identity of the 

 others. Three of the family, in appearance and voice, strongly suggested 

 young of the year, and, before 1 left them, (.r rather they left me, I had 

 the pleasure and satisfaction of seeing the supposed female side up to and 

 feed one of the tliree of juvenile appearance. 



Later tliis song was heard on various occasions, and, on .luly 21st 

 and August istli, 1 had most satisfactory observation of Pine Warblers, 

 both of adult males and their duller-colored followers; but no further 

 evidence was secured as to the breeding of this species there. All my 

 Pine Warbler ohsci-vntions were ui)()n tlie knob-tops, close to the pine 

 areas. I am anxious to visit tlie Reservation during some May or June 

 when, I am confident, 1 could collect more conclusive evidence of the 

 breeding of the Pine AYarl)ler witliin our State.
