word. After a good look at her and her nest, I relieved her anxiety 

 by passing on. Eggs at so late a date as this would seem to indi- 

 cate a second brood. — Bertha L. Brozan, Bangor^ Mc. 



Phalaropes on Belgrade Great Pond. — In late August, 

 1903, a number of Phalaropes appeared on Belgrade Great Pond, at 

 the same time with some Gulls, and seemed to associate with them. 

 I observed a flock of seven Phalaropes, if my memory serves me, 

 associated with the Gulls, and three or four isolated individuals. 

 They staid three or four days and were seen often during that time.

The Prairie Horned L,ark and the Meadow I^ark at 

 PiTTSFiELD, Maine, in Summer. — June 29, 1910, while at work 

 on my potato land, I saw three Prairie Horned L,arks. I have 

 known the Horned I^arks since 1892 (as my notes show), but never 

 have known of their being here at this season of the year. A pair 

 of Meadow L,arks are nesting in my fields this year. And I am 

 sure there are several other pairs to be found in this neighborhood.

The Winter Wren in Ellsworth, Me. — October 6, 1908, 

 I saw the Winter Wren creeping mouse-like along a hollow cedar 

 fence pole by the street. The bit of primeval forest skirted by this 

 fence in its recesses harbors the Winter Wren while it remains 

 here. May 11, 1910, I heard its martial song for the first time. 

 After that I spent days listening to its song and that of the other 

 denizens of this remote, mossy woodland. To-day, July iith, I 

 had an opportunity to visit its haunts again. The woods resounded 

 with its liquid fife-like melody. Thus it is now common here and 

 in full song. I felt sure that the bird nested here, but had no proof 

 of the fact heretofore. — Cordelia J. Stanwood, Ellswortli, Me., July 

 II, igio. 



Meadow Lark's Nest on Intervale at Farmington, 

 Me. — Sunday afternoon, July 10, 1910, while out with my friend.
