their favorite haunts and moved on. The male sang almost con- 

 stantly." These birds were also reported by Mr. J. G. Jack. 



West Roxbury. Mr. J. S. Codman l saw a Carolina Wren in West 

 Roxbury on November 8, 1908, and again on November 2G. (Ja- 

 maica Plain, the Arnold Arboretum, Franklin Park and West 

 Roxbury are all included in the City of Boston.) 



Cokasset. Mr. J. G. Jack has given me the record of a Caro- 

 lina Wren during the latter part of August and all of September, 

 1908, at Sandy Cove in Cohasset. After this month Mr. Jack did 

 not visit Cohasset until February 22, 1909, when he again found 

 the Wren in the same spot. Mrs. Bridge found the Wren there on 

 March 17. At Scituate, in the thicket of the Glades, Mr. H. W. 

 Wright found a Carolina Wren singing on April 10, 1909. This 

 spot is about a mile across the water from Sandy Cove. 



Naushon Island. On July 13, 1908, Mrs. Bridge found a Caro- 

 lina Wren in full song at this island. On the following day she dis- 

 covered that there were a pair of Wrens there, and she heard the 

 male sing on the 15th and 16th. She writes me under date of 

 March 2, 1909: "Later in the season my cousin Mr. Ralph Forbes 

 reported to me several Wrens [at Naushon], probably the young." 

 As Mr. Brewster 2 reported the nesting of a pair of Carolina Wrens 

 at Naushon in 1901, it is possible that they may nest at this southern 

 station not infrequently. 



There have been, therefore, at a moderate estimate during the 

 last year about twice as many Carolina Wrens seen in Massachu- 

 setts as have been reported in all previous years. 



Rhode Island. — Mr. R. G. Hazard reports the breeding of 

 the Carolina Wren in Rhode Island. 3 At Peace Dale he found 

 more than one pair during the summer of 1908, but records no nests. 

 July 13 is the earliest date he gives. Mr. Leon J. Cole 4 found 

 during the summer of 1908 "at least two, and possibly more Caro- 

 lina Wrens resident at Kingston, R. 1 ." Late in July is his earliest 

 date.
