TROGLODYTID^E : WRENS. 



H. Clarke, Nov. 15, 1878. There are also several 

 records of the presence of the species close by the 

 New England border : as Mr. Lawrence's, already 



alluded to (Am. 

 Lye. N. Y., viii, 

 1866, p. 293) ; 

 Mr. E. P. Bick- 

 nell's (at River- 

 dale,N.Y.,Bull. 

 Nuttall Club, iii, 

 1878, p. 128); 

 and especially 

 Mr. R. Deane's 

 (Bull. Nuttall 

 Club, iv, 1879, 

 p. 184). The 

 latter instance, 

 given on the au- 

 thority of Mr. 

 Robert Law- 

 rence, attests the 

 breeding of the 

 bird at Flushing, Long Island, where a female was 

 taken on the 8th of May, 1879, and a male, with a 

 brood of four young ones just able to fly, were ob- 

 served next day. It would thus appear to be placed 

 beyond reasonable question, that the Great Carolina 

 Wren's breeding range reaches along the Atlantic 

 coast to the full extent of the Carolinian Fauna. I 

 cannot deny that satisfaction comes from thus succes- 

 sively laying the ghosts of the thirty exceptions taken 

 by Dr. Brewer to the manner and character of my list 

 of 1868. C 1 .]
