 way to Brunswick, the last of July, I saw Meadowlarks in three 

 different fields, showing that they are getting more plentiful in this 

 part of the state. — Percival V. RoJfe, Portland. 



Notes from Damariscotta. — Loons have reared young in 

 nearly all the ponds around here. July ist I found young. Aug. 

 ist I found a young loon, probably one week old, and captured the 

 little fellow long enough to get the parent birds up near enough to 

 photograph. 



The Terns have bred in greater numbers than ever on the Egg 

 Rocks and have come into the ponds in goodly numbers in the last 

 two weeks. 



The Puffins returned to Egg Rock again this year. New Har- 

 bor dry ledges had nearly one hundred eggs laid on them, which 

 were completely cleaned up by the crows, after which the Puffins 

 deserted the rocks entirely. 



The Carey Chicken has suffered, as in years past, by being cap- 

 tured and destroyed by some enemy which I have been unable to 

 discover, probably mink, as all that was left were the wings of the 

 bird, and one could easily pick up over one hundred pair of wings in 

 this way. 



I have seen more Cuckoos this year than for a number of years 

 past. 



The Purple Martin was quite plentiful about May i, and no 

 doubt if suitable houses were provided more would have remained
