I lO Batchelder on Birds of the Uppci- St. yol/n. 



23. Dendrceca tigrina (Gm.) Bd. Cape May Warbler. — I shot a 

 male at Fort Fairfield, June 23, in a thick .second growth of spruces on 

 the edge of a path. 



24. Siurus auricapillua {Lhin.) Swains. Golden-crowned Thrush. 

 — Rather common at Fort Fairfield. At Grand Falls it was seen only in 

 the hard woods, where it was not common. 



25. Siurus naevius {Bodd.) Cones. Water Thrush. — Breeding at 

 Fort Fairfield, but not very common. It was not met with at Grand 

 Falls. 



26. Geothlypis Philadelphia ( Ji^/7.';.) Bd. Mourning Warbler. — 

 Common in suitable places. It was almost sure to be found in "burnt 

 lots," where the fallen trunks lay, half hidden by a luxiu-iant growth of 

 tall weeds, or thickly overrun with vines. Under the shelter thus afforded 

 they undoubtedly nested, safely screened from the most vsearching eyes. 



27. Geothlypis trichas {Linn.) Caban. Maryland Yellowthroat. 

 — Common. 



28. Myiodioctes pusillus {Wils.) Bp. Wilson's Black-cap. — At 

 Fort Fairfield this bird was common. We usually found them in thickets 

 of willow bushes, often in rather wet places. The birds were apt to go in 

 companies of three or four or more. June 23 Mr Dwight caught a young 

 bird, just able to fly two or three yards at a time. The nest was no doubt 

 close at hand, but the ground among the willow bushes was covered so 

 deeply with brush that a diligent search for the nest showed nothing — 

 except that it was not built in the bushes. The youngster showed in the 

 most marked way the energy of disposition and restless activity that 

 characterize the adults. The species was not common at Grand Falls. 



29. Myiodioctes canadensis {Linn.) And. Canada Flycatching 

 Warbler.— Rare at Grand Falls, but common at Fort Fairfield. 



30. Setophaga ruticilla {Linn.) Szvains. Redstart. — This species 

 was exceedingly abundant at Grand Falls wherever there were hard woods. 

 It was a common bird at Fort Fairfield. 



31. Hirundo erythrogastra ^<?<f^. Barn Swallow. — Common. 



32. Tachycineta bicolor {Vieill.) Cuban. White-bellied Swal- 

 low. — At Grand Falls it was common in suitable localities. None 

 were seen about the town. It was abundant at Fort Fairfield. 



33. Petrochelidon lunifrons {Say) Lazvr. Eave Swallow. — Com- 

 mon at Grand Falls. Abundant at Fort Fairfield. 



34. Cotile riparia {Linn.) Boic. Bank Swallow. — Common. 



35. Progne subis {Linn.) Bd. Purple Martin. — Common, breed- 

 ing in martin-houses at Fort Fairfield. This bird seems to be generally 

 distributed throughout eastern Maine and the adjoining parts of New 

 Brunswick, where there are settlements. While on our way to Fort Fair- 

 field we noticed it at a number of places between Bangor and Woodstock, 

 N. B., as well as at various points along the St. John River between 

 Fredericton, N. B., and Fort Fairfield. It is also common at Houlton. 



36. Ampelis cedrorum {Vieill.) Bd. Cedarbird.— It was not un- 

 common at Grand Falls. At Fort Fairfield we found it common.
