DELAWARE VALLEY ORNITHOLOGICAL CLUB. 55 



Mr. Morris described a recent trip to Town Point, Md., on 

 the Chesapeake. He found two Mockingbirds but nothing else 

 of importance, though birds were abundant and he regarded the 

 locality as a particularly good one for the study of bird life. 



Mr. Enilen followed with some notes on a late summer visit 

 to a wild section of Rhode Island, some sixteen miles back of 

 Narragansett. In a dense bog, near Wauchaug pond, a number 

 of distinctly northern plants were found, and he thought it a 

 good place to look for possible boreal birds. 



Mr. E. M. Evans, who accompanied Mr. Emlen, saw a 

 Mockingbird in this vicinity on August 20, 1902. 



Mr. Roberts reported that the pair of Mockingbirds that bred 

 last year in Bucks Co., Pa., returned the present season but re- 

 mained in the vicinity only about a week.

Messrs. Frederick N. Owen and Chreswell J. Hunt were

Mr. J. A. G. Rehn furnished the paper of the evening, de- 

 scribing an expedition to southern New Mexico, undertaken by 

 Mr. H. L. Viereck and himself, in the interests of the Academy, 

 in April and May of the present year. The country was de- 

 scribed with the aid of maps and photographs and the bird life 

 was treated in detail, (see Proc. Acad. Nat. Sciences, Phila., 

 1903. ) 



Mr. Coggins spoke of birds observed at York Furnace, Pa., on 

 May 30, 1902, and Dr. Trotter reported the Northern Shrike as 

 common during summer in Nova Scotia, where he had been 

 located. 



Mr. Stone called attention to two Arkansas Goldfinches in 

 Mr. Rehn's New Mexican collection which, contrary to the 

 custom in the eastern species, were renewing the remiges along 

 with the body plumage in the prenuptial molt.
