Seiurus motacilla. Louistana Water THrusH.— A pair were ob- 
served feeding young on the wing, June 25, 1915. Notwithstanding the 
fact that the region is well north of the recognized range of this species, 
and of the further fact that no specimen was taken, the birds being carefully 
observed at close range and noted to possess the characteristics of this 
species, in addition to the immediate comparison with a specimen of S. n. 
noveboracensis, the authors feel convinced that the identity was correctly 
designated. 
Geothlypis trichas trichas. MaAryLanp YELLOW-THROAT.— A quite 
common breeder. Two nests, each containing four fresh eggs, were noted 
on June 15 and 23, respectively, 1916, and another with four well incubated 
eggs on June 25. 
Wilsonia pusilla pusilla. Wuitson’s WarBLER.— We first noted this 
bird on June 9, 1916, when two males and a female were observed in the 
bog where two nests of the Yellow Palm Warbler were found. The actions 
of these birds indicated that nesting might be under way. On June 16, 
a nest with five eggs, in which incubation was well commenced, was found 
in a boggy and quite wet clearing, surrounded by woods, with a consider- 
able growth of small cedar, tamarack, spruce and balsam saplings. This 
nest was built in the side of a moss tussock, resting in the angle formed by 
the abrupt side of the tussock and a little cedar, at the base of which the 
nest was placed. It was composed of moss, dead leaves, fine weed stalks 
and grasses, a little hair being mingled with the lining of fine, dead grass. 
It measured 3.50 X 1.50 inches in depth and 3.50 X 1.75 inches in diame- 
ter. These eggs, ovate in shape, were white, profusely marked with spots, 
specks and blotches of rusty, reddish-brown, blotches of lighter shade, and 
fine specks of lavender, thickest about the larger end, where they formed 
well defined wreaths. They measured .65 X .47,..65 X .48, .64 X .47, 
.67 X .49, .66 X .47. 
On June 10, 1916, a female was observed building, and by watching from 
concealment, the nest site was located. The first material, consisting of 
fine reddish roots was just being placed in the cavity, which was carefully 
hidden within a thick tuft of dried grass along the edge of an old log, near 
to, but not really in boggy ground. On June 17 this nest was completed 
and contained one egg. In the very few moments that we were there the 
birds were not seen. On June 21 the nest contained four eggs, on which 
the female was sitting. These eggs were a different type from those 
described above, being quite round and heavily sprinkled with fine reddish- 
brown spots thickest near the larger end. 
On June 19 another nest with four fresh eggs was found in a tussock. 
in the same bog and within a few rods of the spot where the one found 
June 15 was located. June 21 another nest was located containing five 
well incubated eggs of the ovate type, which measured .65 X .50, .67 X 
47, .66 X .48, .66 X .47, .65 x .46. It was in the same general locality 
where the birds were first observed on the 9th, but was concealed in heavy 
grass cover, in a fairly flat spot, and in the midst of a dense tangle of coni-
