field. While never a voluminous writer, he has contributed very 

 materially to the correction and addition of records of New England 

 birds, their distribution, and their habits. This is nowhere better 

 shown than in the pages of the Bulletin of the Nuttall Ornithologi- 

 cal Club, and The New England Bird Life, by Stearnes and Coues. 



His principal published contributions to the ornithology of 

 Maine are as follows : 



1876. Correction of the record of the Arkansas Kingbird, taken 

 at Eliot, Me. 1 This appeared in his review of Dr. T. M. Brewer's 

 Catalogue of New England Birds. 



1876. "The Nest and Eggs of Traill's Flycatcher as Observed 

 in Maine." 2 



187S. "The Nest and Eggs of the Yellow-bellied Flycatcher" 3 

 [at Houlton, Me.]. 



1879. "The Loggerhead Shrike Breeding in Maine." 4 



1879. "MacFarlane's Gerfalcon in Maine." 5 



1880. "The Purple Gallinule in New England" 6 [at Boothbay, 

 Me.]. 



1882. "Pelidna subarquata [Curlew Sandpiper] on the Maine 

 Coast." 7 



These writings show that he was one of the early ornithological 

 visitors to the Umbagog and Houlton regions. He was probably 

 the first to point out in print what he designated (and we do not 

 remember finding any other name) as the St. Lawrence Maine Cen- 

 tral water route 8 [of migration]. 



He was a man of a peculiarly amiable disposition, and his friend- 

 ship was cherished by all who came to know him.
