ao'ciinst the dark earth that one grew curious as to the place 

 chosen by them for spending the night, (^n one night this 

 was foimd to be in the only running water the meadow 

 offered, a shallow rivulet scarcely four feet wide. Standing 

 in this water their color was completely obliterated in its light 

 shining surface that reflected the sky.

1)ACIiman's Si'arrow, Pciicaca acsik'oJis haclunanii. — ( )n 

 -May 14. IDOD, on an all day trip to Cedar Point, a male in 

 full song was found a quarter of a mile east of the Lake 

 Laboratory. The liird was perched on a telephone wire near 

 where the line enters the sand s])it. singing lustily. It 

 stopped only to fly to the ground to feed, then mounted to 

 the wire again by way of bushes which were growing in the 

 center of an old sand 'blow-out' which is now covered with 

 grass. The bird permitted an approach within fifteen feet, 

 showing no concern at the intrusion. Again on the ITth, the 

 bird was found again at the same place, singing as lustily 

 as before. If I mistake not this is the farthest north record 

 for this species. 



IlEnicK's W'rrx. Thryomoiics bc:^'ickii. — On May 22, 1009, 

 while on an all day bird tramp with Rev. W. L. Dawson, he 

 called ni}' attention to a singing bird of this species in the 

 village of Ilcrlin TTeights. There was no mistaking the song. 

 The ])resence of this wren has been sus])ected near Oberlin 

 on three occasions, but in the absence of song and without 

 s])ecimens it has not been accredited to this region until now. 



The presence of these two species tends to corrol)orate my 

 .statements that there is a decided nurtluvard movement of 

 the bird fauna <i\'er ( )hio.
