of 1901. The birds were observed here by several persons, and 

 also recorded by " Pinfeather Ornithologist " (: 01, p. 33). 



225. Seiurus aurocapillus (Linn.). OVEN-BIRD. 



A common summer resident of the Transition and sub-Cana- 

 dian areas, most plentiful in the rich shady woods of mixed 

 growth, which it inhabits in the White Mountains up to nearly 

 3,000 feet. A few linger among the mountains until the last of 

 September, and Dr. W. Faxon tells me that he observed one at 

 Warren on the late date of October 2, 1895. 



Dates : May 4 to October 2. 



226. Seiurus iioveboraceiisis (Gmel.). WATER- 

 THRUSH. 



A rather common spring and fall migrant and less common 

 summer resident in the thick swamps of the Canadian fauna. 

 It is said to be a common breeding bird about Lake Umbagog, 

 and in the upper Canadian woods of the White Mountains it is 

 found in summer about the cold streamlets on the mountains, 

 or at lower elevations in wooded swamps. Mr. E. A. Preble 

 has noted it as fairly common in such localities in the neighbor- 

 hood of Ossipee. Mr. G. H. Thayer informs me that in a small 

 wood swamp near Dublin, he has annually found a pair, and 

 believes they breed there. At Intervale, I have rarely found 

 the bird in June in the lowlands, and as early as the loth of 

 July, single individuals appear in the valley along the edges of 

 shaded pools and brooks, whither they may have come from the 

 immediate neighborhood. 



Dates : May 15 to September 21. 



Note: Seiurus motacilla (VieilL). I/ouisi ANA WATER-THRUSH. 



Mr. G. H. Thayer (102) records having observed on Aug. 19, 1901, at 

 Dublin, a bird which he feels convinced was of this species, though he 

 admits that the record cannot be considered as more than an expression 

 of his own conviction. 



221. Geothlypis agilis (Wils.). CONNECTICUT WAR- 

 BI.ER. 



A rare fall migrant of rather irregular occurrence, sometimes 

 appearing rather commonly for a few days. Mr. C. F. Good-
