6. Parus Iludsonius. Hndsonian Titmouse. Not very common; 

 only two were noted. It probably breeds in the dense forests. The 

 only specimen captured was among a large flock of P. atricapillus, 

 and was first noticed from its exceedingly loud note, which is much 

 harsher, shriller and more quickly given than P. atricapillus. 



SITTID-SJ. 



7. Sitta Canadensis. Red-bellied Nuthatch. Common ; breeds. 



8. Sitta Carolinensis. White-bellied Nuthatch. Rare. 



CERTHIIDJE. 



9. Certhia familiaris. Brown Creeper. Not common ; breeds. 



TROGLOD YTID JE . 



10. Troglodytes hyemalis. Winter Wren. Common; breeds. Its 

 superb song is here heard to the utmost advantage, in the solitudes 

 of its native forests and in the tangled and almost impenetrable 

 swamps. Troglodytes cedon may occur. 



MOTACILLID^I. 



11. Anthus Ludomcianus. Titlark. Occurs in spring and fall, but 

 does not breed. 



SYLVIID^J. 



12. Regulus calendulus. Ruby-crowned Wren. Common in spring 

 and fall, but passes to the north to breed. 



13. Regulus satrapa. Golden-crowned Wren. Common; breeds. 

 I was unable to discover any nests, although I could see, by the 

 actions of the parents, that they had young near by. 



SYLVICOLID-EJ. 



14. Mniotilta varia. Black and White Creeper. Rather uncommon ; 

 breeds. 



15. Parula Americana. Blue Yellow-back. Rare. I took a single 

 specimen in May. 



16. Geothlypsis trichas. Maryland Yellow-throat. Exceedingly 

 common. Breeds in abundance in all the heaths of Labrador Tea. A 

 nest taken June 20 was composed largely of feathers of Larus argen- 

 tatus. 



17. Helminthophaga ruficapilla. Nashville Warbler. Common; 

 breeds. 



18. Helminthophaga peregrina. Tennessee Warbler. Not rare;
