 row. — Abundant summer resident, far outnumbering all the other Spar- 

 rows together. 



67. Spizella montana {Forster) Ridgway. Tree S-parrow. — Occurs

 Breeds, but not common. Nests about the Forge at foot of Fulton Chain. 



69. Spizella pusilla {Wilson) Bonaparte. Field Sparrow. — Dr. A. 

 K. Fisher writes me that he has seen the Field Sparrow about the southern 

 end of Fake George, in Warren County, and that (). 15. Lockhart has two 

 sets of eggs taken there. Both Mr. A. Jenings Dayan and myself have 

 found it in the Black River Valley, in Lewis County, where, however, it 

 is a very rare bird.

 ably common summer resident, breeding al various localities. 



72. Melospiza palustris ( Wilson) Baird. Swamp Sparrow. — Breeds, 

 hut rather rare.

 Raquette, the Fulton Chain, and various other localities, and is by no 

 means uncommon. 



Si. Sturnella magna (Linn.) Swainson. Meadow Lark. — Owing 

 to the absence of suitable meadows this species is necessarily rare in the 

 Adirondack region.

 cies rests on the authority of Dr. A. K. Fisher, who writes me that it 

 occurs in southern Warren County.
