POSTLUDE 



jHE following list summarizes the 

 observations of the year, so far as 

 that can be done by the mere enu- 

 meration of names ; not a remark- 

 able showing, for it contains few species that 

 are unusual, and omits many that are well 

 known ; yet proving more conclusively than 

 were otherwise possible in the same space, what 

 a varied and abundant source of instructive 

 pleasure is afforded all about for those who will 

 accept Nature's constant but unobtrusive invi- 

 tations. With about half a dozen exceptions 

 they were all found in the Ramble. 



Thrush Family (38).* Mocking-bird. 



Wood Thrush. Cat-bird. 



Wilson's Thrush. Thrasher.
