20 MEMOIRS OF THE NUTTALL ORNITHOLOGICAL CLUB 



The peninsula of Nahant is practically an island connected with the main 

 by a long narrow neck of land. Mr. Horace W. Wright, whose accuracy in 

 observation and care and exactitude in counting are well known, has kindly fur- 

 nished me with three lists and counts of warblers made at Nahant, omitting only 

 the Bass Point section. Mr. Wright has also given me two lists from Ipswich. 

 The lists were made at the height of warbler migration in May, and give a good 

 idea of the relative abundance of the diiTerent warblers in the same season and in 

 different years. These lists will in time have considerable value for comparison.

A short distance to the north of my house at Ipswich, a glacial drumlin stands 

 up to a height of 150 feet. Snuggled at its southern base at the time the original 

 Memoir was published was a brackish, black-grass marsh intersected with ditches 

 and bordered by alders and willows, by birches and old apple trees, by bushy 

 pastures and mowing-lands. It was watered by three springs of sweet water 

 nearly equidistant from each other on the periphery and by the high vernal and 

 autumnal salt-water tides that pushed their way through an ancient ruined dyke
