met with several of these birds and secured an adult male which is now in 

 his collection. I have expected to find this species here for some time, as 

 Mr. Taverner found it at Port Huron, St. Clair County, to the north, and 

 it has been taken in Monroe and Washenaw Counties, southeast of here.

Bachman's Warbler in Leon County, Florida. — In the October, 1904, 

 number of 'The Auk' Mr. R. W. Williams, Jr., in a list of the birds of 

 Leon County, Florida, says concerning Bachman's Warbler: "Only one 

 record. I took this specimen on August 4, 1900." On March 22, ^04, 

 while in company with Mr. Morgan Hebard of Thomasville, Georgia, I 

 collected a male specimen of this species in a black gum swamp in the 

 extreme northeastern section of Leon County, about four miles distant 

 from the Georgia line. The individual taken was in company with sev- 

 eral others which appeared to be the same species, but as the identitv was 

 not known until the specimen was in hand, no others were secured. —

The First Hooded Warbler Taken in Maine. — On the 9th of Septem- 

 ber, 1904, Mr. Samuel T. Uana, of Portland, informed me that he had seen 

 a Hooded Warbler ( Wilsonia mitrata) at Falmouth. As this bird had 

 never, to my knowledge, been recorded in Maine, I asked him to secure 

 a specimen, which he did on the 10th of September, 1904. The bird was 

 brought to a Portland taxidermist the same day and mounted. It is now 

 in the possession of Mr. Dana. It is a male bird, an adult, and is in per- 

 fect plumage. It was taken in the trees near a dwelling, and had been 

 there several days, in company with other warblers. The capture of this 

 warbler and the establishing of a new record has attracted considerable 

 comment among local ornithologists. — W. H. Brownsox, Portland,

Breeding of the Hudsonian Chickadee (Panes hudsonicus) at Dover, 

 Me. — There has been so little said or written in relation to the breeding 

 of this species that the record of a nest with young discovered by the 

 writer the present season may be of some value to the working ornithol- 

 ogists. 



During a 12 years' residence at Dover, Piscataquis County, I have occa- 

 sionally during my rambles met this species, but the meetings have 

 usually occurred during the late fall or winter seasons, and have been so 

 infrequent as to merit a special record in my notes. Accordingly it was- 

 indeed a surprise to discover a pair engaged in the act of rearing a brood 

 of young this season. The date was June 21. I had spent the morning 

 botanizing in a place locally known as Sangerville bog, located due west 

 from Dover village, the nearest portion of the bog being about a mile 

 distant. The boundary line between the towns of Dover and Sangerville 

 passes directly through the morass, a portion lying in either town, but 

 the ' find ' was located on the Dover side.
