Plates VII-IX. 
DurinG the past summer the authors made a second reconnois- 
sance of the region in northern New Brunswick covered by the 
previous year’s study of the breeding of the Tennessee Warbler, 
which was described in ‘The Auk’ for January, 1916. The period 
embraced by this study in 1915, was from Juné@ 18 to July 2; that 
in 1916 from June 2 to 27. 
The nature of the country visited, having been described in 
the above mentioned paper, repetition of that description is un-

Gavia immer. Loon.— Frequently noted. Doubtless breeds. 
Larus marinus. GREAT BLACK-BACKED GuLL.— A number noted. 
Larus argentatus. Hrrrine Guitu.— Common and doubtless breeds. 
Sterna hirundo. Common Tern.— Abundant. Breeds. 
Phalacrocorax auritus auritus. DovuBLE-cRESTED CoRMORANT.— A 
few noted. 
Mergus serrator. Rrp-BREASTED Mrercanser.— Abundant. Breeds. 
Anas rubripes. Buack Duck.— Common. Breeds.

1915. 
Gallinago delicata. Wutson’s Snipz.— On June 15, 1916, we saw a 
pair of these birds whose actions gave all the indications of nesting. Under 
the same conditions, they were noted on several later occasions. The 
situation was boggy ground of excellent character for the breeding of these 
birds, but no nest was discovered. 
Totanus melanoleucus. GREATER YELLOW-LEGS.— A few noted with 
Black-bellied Plover, June 4, 1916.
