VILLAGE OF NOG ALES. 69 



Myrtle Warbler, Audubon's Warbler, the common Sparrow

The forest was very pleasant for rambling. In some 

 directions broad pathways led down gentle slopes, through 

 almost interminable shrubberies of green foliage, to moist 

 hollows, where the springs of water bubbled up, or shallow 

 brooks ran over their beds of pebbles or muddy floors. The 

 most beautiful road was one that ran through a beautiful 

 grove of lofty trees, crossed the Rio Blanco on a high bridge, 

 and terminated below tli;e high walls of the neighboring 

 hills. Birds and insects were here very plentiful, and many 

 a rare and beautiful specimen was added to our collection. 

 One spot, a few miles from the town, I shall not soon forget; 

 it was on a hill which sloped abruptly towards a boggy 

 meadow, sui rounded by woods, through which a narrow 

 winding path continued the slope down to a cool and shady 

 glen, with a brook of cold water flowing at the bottom At 

 mid-day the vertical sun penetrated into the gloomy depths 

 of this romantic spot, lighting up the leafy banks of the 

 stream, where numbers bf Scarlet Tanagers and brightly 

 colored butterflies sported about in the stray leaves.

 by a couple of burros, which were driven at a run. The
