PARTIS ATRICAPILLUS, Black-cap Chicka- 

 dee. Common, at times abundant. I did 

 not find it breeding, but think it must do 

 so ; fall, winter, and spring. 



SITTA CABOLINENSIS, "White bellied Nut- 

 hatch. Common in spring, fall and winter. 

 I have found them in summer about a very 

 small hole in a living tree, where I am in- 

 formed that they have bred and doubtless 

 do still breed. 



Sitta canadensis, Red bellied Nuthatch, 

 not observed at all anywhere. 



CEKTHIA FAMILIARIS, Brown Creeper, 

 Rather rare at any time, irregular. I have 

 shot it once or twice. 



TROGLODYTES CEDON, House Wren. 

 Common, regular ; arrives early in spring 

 and builds about houses, very tame and 

 familiar. 



ANORTKURA TROGLODYTES var HYEMALIS, 

 Winter Wren. April 2d, with snow yet on 

 the ground, I shot a specimen between two 

 mountain slopes in a gorge of rocks, appar- 

 ently a young one. I have seen others and 

 judge it to be a winter visitor. 



TELMATODYTES PALUSTRIS, Long billed 

 Marsh Wren. If anything, not rare, regu- 

 lar, breeding in the marsh of Denning's 

 Point, and perhaps other places along the 

 river. June 2d, I found a nest with 5 eggs, 

 another completed fresh, but empty, and 

 another just begun, (the nest is begun from 

 the outside and built inwards.) The bird 

 arrives late as far as I can judge from what 

 I have seen. 



Cistothorus stellaris, Short billed Marsh 

 Wren, was not seen at all.
